Small suburban gardens are some of the best out. Want to know why? Well, it's because they need very little ongoing maintenance and, with just one or two clever little touches, they can be just as spectacular and usable as much larger spaces!

Professional gardeners have become adept at making these small little slices of suburban heaven really pop and look amazing, so we found a few to show you today, which we know will inspire you to get more creative. 

Let's take a look…

1. Kitting out a small space in all wood

For a fresh, organic feel.

2. Build a handy garden outbuilding

You don't need countless acres!

3. Raised edge borders make wonderful use of your garden's height

Instead of focusing on a small footprint.

4. Stepped beds are an effective way to get more from your space

Especially in long but narrow suburban gardens.

5. Integral seating detracts from the shallow, wide dimensions

And offers plenty of social potential.

6. How's this for a hole in one?

Perfect for when you can't get to the golf course!

7. Dual-coloured decking

Makes a small garden look bigger.

8. Tall but delicate trees

A patio can be far cooler if you make it a real social hub. This one's an outdoors living room!

Help to keep a small garden layout more fluid and changeable, which always makes it feel bigger.

14. A floating deck with cut-out flower beds
