Backyard Is Small: IF YOUR backyard is small or an awkward shape, you can disguise the fact by using various design devices. Most people want to increase the apparent size; others to make a broad site with little depth appear longer than it is; or to make a long and narrow garden seem less tunnel-like; or the aim may simply be to make a small yard seem less confined.
WORK OUT how much you can afford to spend on your new garden.
• There is no point thinking up a grand scheme if you can't afford to carry it out.
Work out how much spare time you have to spend in your garden to maintain it.
• If you lead a fast-paced life, you may well not have a lot of time to garden, in which case, work out a low-maintenance plan for your new garden.
Ask yourself what you want out of your new garden. Are you a passionate plant collector? Do you have small children? Do you want to grow vegetables as well as flowers? Assess your backyard and consider what is possible and what is not possible to achieve.
• If, for example, you have a shady backyard, it's no use having a new design that incorporates larye areas of flower filled with sun-loving plants. Similarly, if you live in an area of chalky soil, there are certain plants which will not thrive there.
FOR CULTURAL reasons, some plants need a special environment: many alpines need a rockery, scree bed or Sink garden, while bog plants require damp soil and aquatic plants depend on water. In a small backyard, you may not have room for more than a few plants of each type.
