Planning a Small Garden
This
backyard landscape design is for a small suburban backyard garden. The backyard
landscape design is for an area approximately 26 feet by 20 feet. The aspect is
South East. The path at its near end communicates with the kitchen yard, and at
its far end terminates at an arbor. The space at the angle of the path could
carry a fountain or sundial. The north-west boundary fence can be raised with a
trellis to give increased surface for growing climbing plants.
In this backyard landscape design the grass is confined to compact areas,
with means of access to them at more than one point. The trees are placed so as
not to cast shadows on the borders while the principal borders are in full sun.
In this backyard landscape design the path space is reduced to a minimum, so far
as is consistent with achieving a picturesque effect.
The beds and borders are indicated in dark green while the grass is light
green. The paths and drives of this backyard landscape design are brown. Also
shown are garden arches on the paths.
