Small backyards can be found throughout Houston in neighborhoods like Upper Kirby, Rice Village, West U, and Bellaire. Houses in these neighborhoods can be very small, consisting of only one story and two or three bedrooms at the most. Many townhomes and patio homes are also found in these parts of town. These dwellings typically have very small backyards which require exceptional landscaping design skills to effectively develop. The challenge inherent to working in a small backyard of any kind lies in the limited amount of space available for any type of landscaping design. Outdoor rooms and structures have to be scaled down to reflect the size and architecture of the home. Trees and gardens must be also be smaller so as to not dwarf the home and consume what little open space there is. Hardscapes and decorative elements must be built in such a way as to create the illusion of a much larger lawn than is actually present.
