Garden Design for Compact Lots

A small yard works best when every area has a job: a place to sit, a place to plant, and a clear path between them.

Design near Grandview Heights maps those uses on one plan with layered planting that looks full without crowding the space.

Courtyard Patios and Side-Yard Paths

A courtyard patio tucked behind the house, or a paver path down a narrow side yard, makes room that was going unused.

Each is built on a compacted base and graded away from the foundation and the neighbor’s lot.

Garden Walls and Raised Beds

Compact Pools and Spas

A small yard can still hold a compact pool or a spa when the layout is planned around it.

Exscape Group’s pool team designs the pool or spa, drawing on Polaris Pools’ specialty background, and the landscape designers fit the decking and screening into the space that is left.

Porch steps, front walks, and specimen trees look their best with soft, low lighting that shows off the house without lighting up the neighbors.

Garden Maintenance and Lawn Care

Pruning, deadheading, mulching, and edging keep a compact garden tidy, and lawn care for small lawns keeps the turf thick.

A small courtyard fountain can add sound near the seating area.
