How to Make Your Tiny Yard Feel Spacious

You can use lush shrubs to make your small outdoor space seem larger than it is. By effectively "hiding" parts of your yard you create a greater sense of space and movement. Plant shrubs that fill out to touch each other or move potted plants to create mini-hedges. Remember that your plants will grow – even your smaller, shorter plants will eventually grow into bigger plants. The large leaves of big tropical plants can help to change the scale of a small space to make it feel larger.
