Transform a Small Space into a Landscaped Gem

Many people don’t realize that size doesn’t really matter when it comes to landscaping. However, the smallest areas will usually show the biggest impact once they have been professionally landscaped. Your small areas could include a garden, back or front porch, and perhaps a small courtyard space. These intimate spaces can really be transformed to be a special little paradise.

Those who live in urban communities know that even though their outdoor areas are small in stature, they still are a very important part of their home life experience. Intimate landscaped areas create spaces to relax, read a good book, admire your garden, and listen to the calming sound of water. From spaces above like balconies and rooftop terraces to ground level patios and porches, your smaller landscaped spaces can be your new favorite hideaway to enjoy the great outdoors or the awesome views of the concrete jungle. Remember, a little green space can make a huge difference.

Creating a Relaxing Backyard Oasis

If you are looking for ways to turn your backyard into a relaxing outdoor living space, here are 3 suggestions that may inspire you to give Lifescape Associates in Denver a call.

1. Create a theme. You want all elements of your landscape design to work together to create a distinct theme or sense of place. That includes your plants, structures, and hardscaping.

2. Don’t forget about privacy. You may be a sociable person and you absolutely can use your outdoor oasis to entertain guests, but do remember to incorporate special design to ensure privacy. There are bound to be days where you want a quiet moment to yourself. Examples: tall plants, fences, pergolas and etc.

3. Use outdoor structures to define spaces. You can have a large gazebo for entertaining or you might like a small solid-roof arbor for a reading spot. Whatever activities you enjoy outside, you can have a specific structure designed to define that area.

Designing Intimate Outdoor Spaces

For those who live in the city or simply have a small landscape, small intimate outdoor spaces are needed to still be able to connect with nature and simply enjoy your outdoor environment. Having a small landscape or outdoor area does not have to prevent you from enjoying a relaxing area to sit and read, people watch, enjoy a garden or the calming sounds of water. Many urban residences have small courtyards, patios, balconies or terraces that can be transformed into the perfect intimate outdoor space. And for homeowners who have a tiny backyard, for a professional landscape architect, a little green space can go a long way.
