Living in Boston and its suburbs has many benefits, but having a big backyard is not usually one of them. However, just because you have a small space to work with, that doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful landscaping. Our team of Boston landscapers at Cataldo Landscape & Masonry has plenty of experience working in small spaces. We can help you turn your tiny yard into an oasis of natural beauty.
Tiny yard? Not a problem. Here are some tricks Boston landscapers use to turn small spaces into gorgeous landscaping.
Potted Plants
Just because you don’t have room for a garden doesn’t mean that you can’t have beautiful flowers. We know what you’re thinking: there’s no soil, just a patio. There’s nowhere to plant flowers. That’s not necessarily true. You can turn your patio into a garden with an array of potted plants. You can even have vibrant plants if all you have is a balcony. If you prefer a working garden rather than a decorative garden, plant herbs and vegetables in your pots, or plant a mix of both.
Edge Your Garden
No matter the size of your garden, you have to choose your plants carefully. Whether you have a few square yards or a full acre of land, you want to choose plants that thrive in your environment and look good together and in your space. Where you place your plants also matters. When you have a small space to work with, edging your garden allows you to plant the maximum number of plants while taking up the least amount of space. That leaves you room to sit, walk, and use your outdoor space without accidentally trampling on your plants. Even in a larger landscape, edging is a helpful technique to make your garden look neat and well-planned.
Trimming and Detail
It’s crucial to keep an eye on your plants and trim them back when they get in the way. Although you want your plants to flourish, you don’t want them to grow over your walking path where you’re likely to step on them. You also want to trim and prune dead branches on trees and shrubs to allow the plant to continue to grow.
