I am always surprised when people tell me that they don't bother with backyard landscape design if they have a small property. No matter how large or small your yard is, you should always incorporate some sort of garden ideas in order to beautify the space, enhance the value of your home, and simply encourage you and your family to spend more time outside. Small backyard ideas can be just as beautiful as the designs we use for large estates you just have to get a bit more creative with where you add your design features. In this yard, we provided a pop of color by installing these custom narrow flower beds to border the entire lawn area. I love how these planters provided a lovely design element without taking up extra space.
In my opinion, backyard landscape design is the finishing touch of any exceptional home especially when it comes to attracting potential buyers. Having been in real estate for over 20 years now, I have seen so many backyard landscaping projects from those that are absolutely beautiful and make a huge statement to my clients, to those that are quite frankly a big turnoff and can almost ruin a sale. Most people want an outdoor space to spend time making memories with friends and family -- more importantly they want one that is beautiful and complete. These landscape design pictures feature my favorite home of all time with a lush fairy garden vibe in the back. It makes such a unique contrast against the ultra modern architecture style of the home but actually works very well together.
I am thrilled with how our backyard landscape design turned out after months and months of planning and planting. We did not want to spend the money on a professional designer or landscaper as I figured I could pull together garden design ideas from online and in magazines in order to create a space that looks just as good as those high end looks you see in professional portfolios. During my research, I noticed that the key to my favorite designs was keeping everything in a relatively similar color palette and style. For our yard ideas, we went with an Italian countryside theme to go with the classic stucco exterior of our home. This meant lots of flagstone pavers, fountains, and lush vines.

If you are looking for backyard landscape design inspiration, I say look no further than the best. This gorgeous sprawling estate has the best collection of landscaping ideas that our company has ever installed in a home. For this client we did it all beautiful patios that blend seamlessly with the architecture, lush gardens filling the empty spaces, and a thick green lawn. All of these features are backyard design ideas that you can easily replicate in your own house on a smaller (or larger) scale. The key to achieving a similar look is to ensure that all features, from the natural to the man made, blend cohesively with the existing architecture of your home.
As a realtor, I notice that nearly all of my clients under focus on backyard landscape design. Usually, it's only after investing in a house and mortgage that families begin to realize they're not happy with their yards. Thankfully, backyard landscaping ideas are everywhere today. You can get inspired by your neighbors' yards, pictures in magazines and online, and even by consulting a local landscaper. Backyard design that really stands out in 2022 include neatly trimming hedges surrounded by fencing or edging, stone patios, and covered decks that can be used in nice or inclement weather. If you're in the market for a new house, remember to check out the yard. If you're unhappy with the current look, be sure to price out what changes you'd like to make before making a bid.
