Backyard Oasis

One of the most important things in a small backyard or garden area is to create a design that will give you flow.

If your garden spaces flow from one to the other you will create a feeling of more space. It also helps with relaxation and enjoyment of the backyard area.

The following you tube has great ideas for creating flow in the home and yard.

I liked the use of low maintenance plants in the front design area. The design plans also worked with tying the house into the landscape, both in the front and backyard areas.

When you work with designing your yard space if you tie the home into the yard you create a flow and the space becomes larger. This is particularly true in you have a porch area or patio and use color to blend the spaces together.
