Starting a garden can be a challenge if your deck or patio is the size of a postage stamp. The good news is that there are many clever, space-saving garden ideas where large backyards are not required. You may even add functional and aesthetically-pleasing furniture pieces from sites like homeaccents2.com/entertainment-occasional-tables/. Before your proceed, though, you may first want to check the condition of your deck. Seeking deck staining or repair services is advised to improve your deck and prepare it for your gardening or decorating. If you decide to start a new deck building project, you may hire a deck builder to help you design and build your new deck. In addition, you may look for top-quality Hardwood Decking materials for your new deck. You may consult companies like ipe decking Georgia if you need more ideas on how you can upgrade your deck.

  • Try using threaded stainless steel rods through terra-cotta pots to suspend them from horizontal surfaces.
  • Turn that rickety old ladder into a showcase for colorful plants and herbs. Use spray paint to spruce up a wooden ladder in bright pastel colors and then adorn it with a variety of pretty pots and planters.
  • A pocket planter is another idea. With one, three or five pockets, and you can hang them on any vertical surface no matter the size of your outdoor space. A shoe organizer works even better and has more pockets to fill with soil or small plastic pots in each pocket.
  • A vertical crate garden using cedar boxes and secured to a wall will create a beautiful garden and an art piece. Unlock the potential of your outdoor space by partnering with a garden building company near me.
