Narrow backyard ideas

A grown up contemporary space for a busy, professional couple.

What was once a forgotten, unused space is now a tranquil escape

My oldest son, Keith, and his family recently purchased a new home. They are super busy renovating the inside with hopes of moving in next month but they haven't even begun to think about the exterior landscaping. The backyard is long and narrow and totally devoid of landscaping. An old brick patio next to the house needs to be uncovered and releveled and the rest is in serious need of some inspiration.

Narrow garden design layouts Designing a layout for a narrow garden can be a very tricky task to take on yourself. I’ll also share with you why each layout works and how you can modify these layouts to fit your own unique needs. While it sounds counterintuitive, dividing up a long, narrow garden will actually make your landscape look a lot BIGGER than it really is. #gardendesign #narrowgarden #narrowbackyard

The whole design is shifted 45 degrees to make the garden seem much wider than it appears. Raised railway sleeper planters help emphasise this and break up the space. Lawn fills the centre and a stepping stone pathway allows access to the garden office from the house. © Anna Tott Photography⁠ #gardendesign #londongarden #urbangarden #railwaysleepers #gardenoffice #lawn #smallgarden#raisedbeds #familygarden #moderngarden #plants #earthdesigns #garden #planting #trampoline #greyfence
