33 Small Backyard Landscape Ideas

Turn your tiny backyard into a great getaway when you add a pond, grill station, flowering wall or pet-friendly planters. Let our small-space landscaping ideas inspire you.

Need more living space? Look outside. You can landscape a small backyard to add room for entertaining, growing flowers and veggies, playing with your pets or watching wildlife. For best results, sketch your design before you begin and keep scale in mind.

A back deck is a good place to start. Is yours unsightly, exposed to the neighbors or too hot and sunny to use? Train a fast-growing perennial on a trellis for privacy, shade and beauty.
