Courtyards & Entry Patios
Small spaces with big impact: front courtyards, entry terraces and tight city yards designed to feel generous.
The details, in plain English.
Not every yard is big, and some of the best outdoor rooms are small. A front courtyard, entry terrace or side-yard garden room adds living space and curb appeal in a footprint you might have overlooked.
We use pattern, layered plantings, lighting and a touch of water or fire to make compact spaces feel intentional. Privacy walls and screens, seating nooks and container gardens make the most of every square foot.

Questions, answered
Can a tiny yard still be a great outdoor room?
Absolutely. Layout, vertical elements and lighting do most of the work. We have designed compact spaces that feel larger than their footprint.
Do you handle HOA approval?
We can supply drawings and material details to support HOA submissions. Approval is up to the association.
