Designing small spaces presents unique and rewarding challenges. For this compact backyard, measuring 25 feet by 15 feet with a 2-foot grade change, we crafted a thoughtful solution. The design features a retaining wall and a paver patio to maximize usable space, a louvered pergola for shade, and strategically placed trees and decorative screens to enhance privacy and block views of neighboring houses, the alley, and trash cans.

Catherine Wells, owner and lead designer at Mandala Landscape Design, found her calling in the landscaping industry after serving in the U.S. Navy. She graduated from Colorado State University with a B.S. in Environmental Horticulture and a concentration in Landscape Design and Contracting.
