Tiny backyards might seem cramped. You might think that there isn’t much you can do with your tiny backyard, but in reality there are plenty of ways you can effectively use a tiny backyard. You just need to think creatively and outside the box.
Coffee Can Platners
Use empty coffee cans as planters. Then, attach these cans to your backyard fence to create a small, vertical garden.
Add Mirrors
Adding mirrors to your backyard will make them seem spacious and big. Be sure to reflect images of the scenery behind your home. Here you can see a forest, which makes the backyard seem so much larger than it really is.

Faux Grass
Grass adds a nice touch to a backyard. It tricks us into thinking a backyard is much larger than it really is. The trick is to add chairs to the edges of the grass space rather than in the middle of it.
Box Garden
Don’t plant your garden in the ground. Create a mobile garden on wheels instead. Now you can move the garden wherever you would like.
