40 Garden Ideas for a Small Backyard

GardenIdeasforaSmallBackyard



Do you have a small backyard? Now everyone wants their home and garden to look terrific. Its very easy to look at a large yard and get envious of a bigger space. But we have a terrific treat just for you: 40 projects that are especially great for smaller backyards.


If you have a petite space then we recommend you focus on one to three “must have” elements to your backyard. Whether that is a veggie garden, garden bench or even a pond. Most likely you can have just about anything your heart desires, but it is so helpful to gather inspiration from others who have smaller space, just as you do. Some projects – like a storage shed – you may need to scale down so they fit your space in that “just right” way.


Think about what you love to use your backyard for. Do you have BBQs where you have family, friends and neighbors over regularly? Do the kids play there every day and in every season? Do you long to grow fresh veggies, so your family continues to eat healthy meals? Or do you simply want a lush, beautiful place for your family to relax and enjoy a few moments after a busy day? Considering what is most important will help guide you to which DIY projects are perfect for your small backyard of your dreams.


You’ll be thrilled to know that most of the projects we found here are very beginner friendly, so you can feel confident about giving them a try. Happy DIY-ing!
