Small Space Back Garden Makeover

Timber screening attached behind the new planter with colourful foliage to the front works wonders to screen off the washing line, the back garage door and the pool pump. The timber bench seating makes this area functional and practical for entertaining. The planter allowed planting a small tree to create instant height and help with screening the neighbours. Mesh panels will guide Star Jasmine planted in pots to cover the fence over time. Planting underneath the bench seating ads another surprise element of green to this small space. The variegated foliage and the pebbles lend texture to an area otherwise unused and usually overlooked. The practical edging will keep the pebbles neat and tidy. Photos Siggi Heyns
