At Colin Green’s Landscaping services we specialise in courtyard gardens and gardens for small and unusual spaces. Courtyard gardens require much thought and planning even though they are usually small in size.
Courtyards can come in many shapes and sizes and need to created to fit in with the rest of the landscape in the property or made as a show piece for presentation or simply a nice place to relax or have a barbeque.
The selection of materials for these spaces are important to blend with the surrounding building and also to create the presentation that will enhance your property. Plant selection is very important in these spaces. Consideration of the mature size and certain growth habits of the plants selected is critical as a plant that grows too large or drops a lot of leaves or flowers can very quickly become a problem.
Call us at Colin Green’s Landscapes to discuss your courtyard gardens needs and we will be happy to look at your courtyard garden and make the recommendations to improve your garden and make it a place you will want to relax and spend time in.
See the examples of courtyard gardens in the pictures below.
This courtyard garden has been done in a formal style and is surrounded on three sides by the house. It provides a beautiful scene to look out onto from living areas and a bedroom. The elements in the garden are all symmetrical, including the plants which have been shaped into regular geometrical shapes.

This small garden in a townhouse is in a shady area and has been planted with tropical plants that thrive in the shade and the artificial grass in the garden prevents the dog from digging up the garden while looking good.
