How can I make my small urban backyard feel more spacious?
Utilize multi-tiered planting, cohesive color palettes, and large pavers to create the illusion of a larger space.
What are some low-maintenance plants suitable for an urban backyard?
Native perennials, ornamental grasses, evergreens, and container-friendly shrubs thrive in urban environments and require minimal upkeep
How can I create privacy in my urban backyard?
Incorporate vertical elements like slat screens, pergolas, and tall plantings. Layering texture and height creates separation without closing off the space.
What are effective ways to incorporate greenery in a paved urban backyard?
Use raised beds, built-in planters, or container groupings to add greenery. Vertical gardens and trellised vines are also ideal for softening hardscapes.
