Transforming Your Small Backyard to a Visually-Stunning Oasis

Not every homeowner is lucky enough to have acres of land to work with. Alternatively, some people prefer the quaint atmosphere a smaller space brings to their home but struggle to find the right design. Regardless, a professional residential landscaper can make the most out of any given area. Are you looking for design elements that will allow you to turn your semi-functional, trivial yard into a space you look forward to utilizing? Check it out!

Levels

While your front or backyard may be limited by the space it has on the ground, have you considered how expanding upwards could positively impact the area? Adding in taller trees provides you with the potential to build off of them. Add a swing or strung lights off these newfound heights to elevate your space!

Directions

Vertical gardens, specifically vines growing up a trellis, are design elements of landscaping that have never gone out of style. They can create a natural separation of space to work with that isn’t an unseemly wall built from a substance not found in the wild. A vertical trellis can provide contrast to the horizontal land it sits on and it appears to be a part of nature that can be maintained by a residential landscaper!

Paths

Shrubbery, cacti, and more can all be used to guide people through the space of your yard, forming natural pathways. Pepper these paths with beautiful, native flowers like Primroses, Lillies, and Larkspurs, to bring light and color to the space. Even if your yard is on the smaller side, clearly established walkways or tiny sitting areas surrounded by nature can make all the difference!

Textures

We’re lucky to have a unique spread of wildlife in our area, specifically with textures and patterns not found in other parts of the United States. Take advantage of Arizona’s Prickly Pear cactus, Barrel cactus, and the Hedgehog cactus. Not only will these be visually appealing, but certain designs can catch the eye and create focal points in your yard.

According to a survey by Harris Poll for the National Association of Landscape Professionals, 75% of Americans feel that it’s important to spend time outside in their yards. Big or small, making the most out of your property can be easier than ever when you contact Victor’s Landscaping, Inc to work with an expert residential landscaper. We look forward to helping you transform your space!
