Living in the city has its perks, but having a home with a big backyard isn’t one of them. Horticultural landscape technician Joshua Hollander proves that a lack of square-footage doesn’t mean a lack of potential. Get backyard landscaping ideas and learn how he transforms a small backyard into an elegant outdoor space perfect for summer entertaining.
Over two summers, Joshua made a variety of savvy changes to the urban area. He divided the space into different zones, including a backyard patio, intimate seating area, lounge section and surrounding gardens. Tall trees and a custom cedar screen add privacy, while low-maintenance plants offer easy elegance. Other decorative features include boxwood hedge and ornamental grass. Soft lighting adds a glow after-dark, making the backyard ideal for entertaining after sundown.

Looks lovely. I love the boxwood squares with tree in center, very nice.
Ok. His idea of "small" and mine radically differ. 😒Any ideas for "tiny" back yard? 😩
Next time take a BEFORE picture and then present the AFTER picture….instead of describing the CHANGE in very long narrative……Just suggesting..No,offense meant..
This very similar my yard but where do you get that grass?
What are those trees?
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Nice garden but no privacy due to the neigbors' door and windows looking right onto the property.
I love this landscaper, his explanations for everything he did was so informative – so many ideas to be inspired by!

Beautiful job. I’ve never seen artificial grass so good. Can you share where I can get that artificial grass for my backyard?
Thank you in advance.
WOW! Beautiful job!
Amazing
Wow,absolutely stunning!
Nice elegant job. But I always like to consider the weatherproof strategies like when you have hot sunny days, or at very cold icy days. I hope you could eleborate on these elements how do you overcome them.
They said everything is bigger in America, and now I believe it.
This "small" backyard is bigger than my house
Nice place too bad you got neighbors like right on top of you….I miss the old days.
What is the brand or link for those large table lanterns?
I just love watching garden make overs. Especially now that it's summer. We want to sit outside more…. xxx
@Joshua Hollander, you should start your own landscaping YouTube channel. Your work is phenomenal.
This is not a small yard, is it? Hugs 💕
The landscaper is terrific. He has a great "eye" and I always appreciate symmetry so this was perfect for me. The only exception was the artificial grass which I want no part of but I am sure there are other
"real" options that would work.
Excellent job so very well done!
Thank you ✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏
It would be great if someone inboxed me now
