Small Garden Design

Small gardens have a lot more potential than you realize, whether dealing with a long narrow space behind a vintage home, a cramped backyard that lacks privacy, or a shabby garden at the rear of a brownstone, the possibilities are endless. So don’t write it off your small outdoor area just yet, with the right design it could be an incredible garden. Dundrum Paving specializes in making attractive gardens out of these spaces to meet the needs of the individuals. That could mean a sophisticated garden in which to socialize, a plant with stunning borders, a multi-purpose venue in which the adults can relax and enjoy. We know that limited spaces have certain limitations so to make a good design, careful planning is particularly important and we make sure that we utilize every space. Limited space is rarely the problem, small gardens often lack privacy and direct sunlight. They may be an awkward shape or span a steep slope, noise, and pollution. Whether you are seeking a complete overhaul of your garden or just modest improvements, we are keen to use our small garden expertise in rising to these challenges.

General Steps in our Service

Initial Consultation

To establish your requirements and preferences. We’ll also discuss your garden’s potential and any problems the design will have to overcome.

Site Survey

Space is a premium in a small garden so it is vital to draw up an accurate scaled plan. Boundaries will be plotted, the position of garden structure, and plants that are to be retained. The soil will also be analyzed.

Garden Layout Plan

We then produce a scaled garden layout plan showing the main features of the garden. The client is consulted on an outline plan and then a final garden layout plan is drawn up setting exactly how the garden is to be built.

Planting Plan

A detailed planting plan will be produced for the areas to be planted. Your plant preferences and the effect you wish us to create will be the key factors as well as our assessment of the site and which plants will be best suited. We will be showing the position and spacing of the plants. We will source high-quality plants from specialist nurseries and carry out planting.

Constructing the Garden

We oversee and supervise the project through to completion.
