Small space landscape can look beautiful

Landscaping and hardscaping often inspire a vision of huge estates that feature luxurious grounds, places where designers can pursue their vision. But that’s a misnomer. In some ways, small spaces—like urban or suburban backyards—are the perfect place to get creative and construct something that has both lasting beauty and enduring utility.



If you have just such a space anywhere in the region around New Castle County, Delaware—maybe a currently underutilized area that’s just too bland to spend time in—then Marshall Landscaping can bring it to life as your landscape and hardscape contractors.

Confined spaces can be transformed, especially by using hardscaping installation to create layers that will expand what is possible. Rather than being limited to just one level to work with, walls—and even an imported boulder or two—can create three-dimensional variety. Fire pits, retaining walls (that can also serve as seating), patterned designs using natural materials, and raised beds for plants are just some of the things that can “open up” the footprint of a small backyard.

Such a makeover can turn an area that is usually ignored into a place of joy, a magnet for both socializing and contemplative “me” time. Stones, pavers, gravel, and simple wood structures can have a major impact, along with the judicious use of the right plants.

There are plenty of creative enhancements that can happen in small backyards—see examples at The Spruce and Homes & Gardens for some ideas—and we can help you bring them to life. Give us a call when you’re ready to take the next step.
