Landscaping in Small Spaces

Landscaping doesn’t always have to be for large estates with beautiful yards and gardens. Even for people living in homes or apartment with very little outdoor living space, landscaping can help bring out the best in these small places. Just because there isn’t a big backyard, or a lush flower garden, doesn’t mean the view outside has to be dreary or dull. A small backyard can be brought to life with small flower beds spaced throughout the area, using cheerful glass mulch to help add a colorful flavor to the yard. An apartment in a large city might be lucky enough to come with a roof patio, in which case a small garden or greenhouse can be brought in to add life to the space. Small pebbles or glass mulch can be added around plants or to cover unattractive areas. Even if the extent of one’s outdoor living space is a small patio high above the street below, color and texture will brighten the view. Potted plants, sculptors or art, and colorful glass mulch can be incorporated into these small spaces to make them feel like home.
