  • Living in the city has its perks, but having a home with a big backyard isn’t one of them. Horticultural landscape technician Joshua Hollander proves that a lack of square-footage doesn’t mean a lack of potential. Get backyard landscaping ideas and learn how he transforms a small backyard into an elegant outdoor space perfect for summer entertaining.
    Over two summers, Joshua made a variety of savvy changes to the urban area. He divided the space into different zones, including a backyard patio, intimate seating area, lounge section and surrounding gardens. Tall trees and a custom cedar screen add privacy, while low-maintenance plants offer easy elegance. Other decorative features include boxwood hedge and ornamental grass. Soft lighting adds a glow after-dark, making the backyard ideal for entertaining after sundown.

    Perfect size, layout and amount of "grass". So many people here in the south have a beautiful field of grass they don't use just to look nice and maintain. This is a smart, practical design. Well done!

    That's a beautiful backyard. Not versed in plants myself, though I like the ivy and small patch of grass, it's the semi privacy and coziness that really gets me. Thanks for posting.

    The landscaper is terrific. He has a great "eye" and I always appreciate symmetry so this was perfect for me. The only exception was the artificial grass which I want no part of but I am sure there are other
    "real" options that would work.
    Excellent job so very well done!
    Thank you ✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏
