There are many beautiful neighborhoods in Central Florida that offer stunning homes but not much yard space. To some this is a perfect time to down size after retirement and not have to worry about taking care of a huge lawn. Even though the back yard is small it could feel a bit overwhelming when it comes to making the most out of such a tiny space.
If you are stuck wondering what to do with that area, check out these tips to create your own small and beautiful backyard oasis:
- Invest in comfy chairs and benches. Having many seating options around creates a cozy spot for relaxing or entertaining guest.
- Split your backyard up into different areas. Create a dinning area separate from a sitting area that is separate from a lounging area. Different spaces creates the illusion of a bigger and more productive backyard.
- Use a fire pit to extend outside entertaining after the sun goes down.

- Use paving stones or gravel for sitting areas and pathways.
- Choose plants of varying heights to give your yard an interesting look.
- Stack planters or flower beds to free up more space.
- Install a fountain or water feature. The sound of flowing water calms the nerves while the fountain give a unique look to any outdoor space.
