Designed for Boston’s Small Spaces
Boston Pocket Gardens designs gardens for the constraints and possibilities of Boston’s urban properties. Compact yards, courtyards, and narrow side spaces each call for careful attention to dimensions, sunlight, drainage, and access. A considered plan helps make every area work harder without crowding the space.
The design process starts with how you want to use your outdoor space and what the site can support. Planting, layout, and garden features are considered together, with clear decisions grounded in the conditions on your property. The result is a practical design shaped around your space and priorities.

Garden Design FAQs
What kinds of small outdoor spaces can you design?
Small-space garden design can suit compact yards, courtyards, and narrow side areas. The design depends on your site’s dimensions, conditions, access, and how you want to use the space.
What should I share before discussing my garden?
Bring approximate measurements, photos, and notes about sunlight, drainage, and access. It also helps to list how you want to use the space and any features or plants you hope to include.
Can a garden work with limited sunlight?
Yes. The plan should account for how much sun reaches different parts of the space and when. Plant selection and layout can then respond to the conditions rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
How do you make a compact garden feel usable?
A clear layout can protect circulation and give important features enough room. Design choices should reflect your priorities, site dimensions, and conditions so the space feels functional without becoming crowded.
Do I need to know what plants I want?
No. You can begin with how you want the garden to look and function. Sharing any preferences, dislikes, or existing plants gives the designer useful direction while leaving room to develop suitable options.
