If you want to create depth and vibrancy to your small yard, the golden rule is not to neglect vertical layering. When overlooked it can make a small yard feel even smaller. Luckily, we know how to avoid that happening.
If your plants are arranged solely on a single horizontal plane, your yard can quickly loose its sense of depth, appearing one-dimensional and uninspiring. This lack of structure not only affects the aesthetic appeal, but also limits opportunities for maximizing even the smallest of backyards. By introducing vertical elements into your design, including trellises, wall planters, or hanging baskets, you can create a more dynamic, multi-layered environment, adding character and interest.
