Custom Fencing Ideas for Small Yards

First things first let’s talk about making your outdoor space feel larger. One of the smartest moves with a small yard is choosing a fence that gives the impression of a much larger yard. Some examples include something like a picket fence or a wrought iron fence, this fence achieves this with gaps between the slats that will make your yard feel bigger than it is. These fence styles let the light in and keep the view open.

Second is a cool idea...why not make your fence part of your landscaping? Vertical gardens are perfect for small yards. You can attach planters directly to your fence and grow flowers herbs or even some veggies right onto your fence integrating it into your space. This is a great way to add some greenery without eating up precious ground space that many people don't have. Plus this can give your fence a little more personality making it more than just a boundary like most.

If you’re into inviting people you should think about a fence that does double duty. A wooden fence with a built-in bench or a small bar area can turn your yard into a cozy extension of your home allowing for people to sit down. You can also throw in some string lights and now you’ve got yourself the perfect spot for evening hangouts.

You don’t have to be afraid to add some color. A bright bold fence can bring a ton of character to a small yard or any yard in that matter. Whether you decide on a colorful paint job or go with a natural material like bamboo or cedar, a beautiful pop of color can make your fence stand out and make your yard feel a lot more inviting to guests.

Bottom line... Just because your yard is small doesn’t mean you can’t make it special within your home. With a little creativity you can turn that small space into a paradise.
