For small home owners having a small garden, creating space is important as it could hold more party guests or be easier on the eyes. Having an untidy garden makes the space seems smaller. Hence, adding paving or turf gives an impression of a larger garden, and is especially useful when putting a house on the market for sale or rent. The following is a renovation of a garden that was neglected by the previous occupants, and the new owners wished to have an eye-catching yet simple garden.
