Ideas for incorporating hard landscaping into a small garden

Having a small garden may leave you feeling uninspired but small gardens have lots of advantages, one of them being that a small change can have a dramatic effect!

Consider low walls that can double as seating if your garden is too small for furniture, also, why not create the illusion of space with a mirror to double the amount of space or brighten a dark corner. 

Tobermore’s Secura Lite retaining wall is available in a choice of three stunning blended colour options – Bracken, Heather and Slate and it can easily double up as providing beautiful garden seating, or indeed a planting area!

As a mortar-free walling solution, its installation is so simple and cost effective – so why not put your hand to some DIY.  Check out our simple ‘How to Build a Secura Retaining Wall’ video below.

Make your small space eye-catching with some contemporary hard landscaping and complement it with a burst of planting for colour. This can be a great way to create a low maintenance garden. 

The latest paving range from Tobermore, Artro, is a versatile and creative option for gardens of any size. Taking inspiration from the European clay paver style, Artro can be laid straight or in a herringbone style which is perfect to bring a creative touch to a small area. For that extra creative edge, you may prefer to choose a contrasting joining material rather than blending in.

Perhaps a garden path is all that you have room for, Artro’s linear style block can make your path a feature of your garden.  Available in seven colours, you can choose from a range of contemporary and traditional shades to suit your home.
