Smaller gardens offer charming opportunities to create intimate, personalised outdoor spaces, despite the limitation of a small plot.

With careful planning and creative design, these compact spaces can be transformed into functional and beautiful gardens. As most of us living with limited outdoor space, the key to achieving success in a small garden is to maximise every inch of space.

• We garden vertically, using climbers over trellis and fences, window boxes and baskets, without sacrificing floor space

• Most garden styles can work on a smaller scale and My Garden Designer will ensure you are making the most of the space available

• Hard landscaping is according to the style, but we always try to blend in with local materials and often build storage solutions into your garden

• Most planting schemes work well in a small space - your designer will make suitable recommendations ensuring year round interest

• Mirrors and lighting are often incorporated into our designs to give the illusion of space

• Container gardening offers flexibility and the ability to change the look of the garden with the seasons

We transform even the smallest of gardens into beautiful, inviting and welcoming spaces despite their compact size.  These are just some ideas to get you started. Collect as many images that you love from Pinterest and Instagram or magazines to share with us. My Garden Designer can design any look, for any garden, as long as it’s appropriate to its setting.
