In order for a landscaping remodel to be successful in accordance with the homeowner’s wishes, it must be feasible. Installing and maintaining renovation projects in small lots require careful consideration of what is practical given the size constraints. Therefore, they require a bit of creativity when it comes to working through the design goals.
To strike a balance between what the homeowner wants and what is practical, scaling down is often a good compromise. Rather than completely ruling out a feature that is too big, considering a smaller feature that takes up less space can be effective. The feature can still be implemented in a small lot, and there would still be space for other design features.
Considering what obstacles might be faced during early planning goes a long way in ensuring project success. Knowing ahead whether it is better to temporarily tear down a fence for maneuverability or leave it there to reduce rework is essential. Sometimes a landscape project might necessitate removing the fence to increase space for the contractors to work. Other times, small equipment can be used to keep rework to a minimum and keep a tighter deadline.
Space for maintenance is crucial, and imposing features that are too big or impractical makes small lots more challenging. As a result, collaboration among all parties involved makes sure small lot projects are done effectively. Consistent communication between designer, homeowner and contractor helps the project move along.
