If you have even a tiny backyard garden, you can count on some buyers taking an interest in it – especially those who love to garden! So, it pays to make it look as enchanting as possible. Here are tips for doing just that:
• Create a focal point. Every garden needs a star. A small water feature,
a striking plant, or an elegant statue can draw eyes and underscore your garden’s potential.
• Go vertical. Height tricks the eye into seeing more space. Use trellises or wall-mounted planters to grow upwards. This not only saves ground space but also adds an intriguing visual layer that can make even the tiniest of gardens feel lush. It can also add privacy and reduce noise.
• Pops of color. Bright flowers or striking foliage can make your garden memorable. However, don’t overcrowd; choose a few vibrant plants to sprinkle through the garden, offering a spectrum of hues.
• Furnish smartly. A small bench or chair invites potential buyers to envision relaxing moments. But remember, proportion is paramount —avoid bulky items that can make the space feel cluttered.
• Keep it tidy. Weeds and overgrown plants make a small garden look
neglected. Create an impression of a well-cared-for backyard space. A neat easy to care for backyard will attract so many different buyers — perennials and native plants are great.
The goal is to ensure a small garden adds yet another desirable feature to your home.
