Landscaping Small Yards -
Jeff and Amy

When it comes to landscaping small yards, Jeff and Amy's backyard landscape and design certainly fits the bill. They don't have much more than a little "postage-stamp-sized" front and backyard, and not much room to work with.

While it may sound as if I'm saying that this is a hindrance, it's quite the opposite! Due to the small size of their yard, it is very easy to make a huge impact in the curb appeal of this home, without an exorbitant amount of work or money and just a little touch of backyard landscaping.

First things first...let's get to the pictures! Here's what their front yard looked like before the landscaping was installed.

When I originally created their backyard landscape and design, I did it with the assumption that I would have the same amount of room on the right and the left side of the house. I didn't take any measurements, and I wasn't sure exactly how many bushes I would need. When I decided to make my purchases, I bought less than what I had actually put on my design, which ended up being a good thing.

The point I'm trying to make is that when landscaping small yards for the do it yourself landscaping designer, you don't necessarily need to spend a lot of time creating the design, and setting everything up to scale. As long as you have a general idea of what you want the finished product to look like, that should be sufficient.
