Small Spaces, Big Potential

At Reder Landscaping, we’ve been lucky to design and build some pretty incredible outdoor spaces over the years, but not every project has to be a major transformation to be worth doing.

In fact, some of the work we’re most proud of happens in the in-between spots: a backyard patio that just needs a little greenery, a front walk that could use a refresh, or a side yard that’s not living up to its potential.

We hear questions all the time like, “What can I do to make my yard look better?” or “What are some inexpensive ways to boost curb appeal?” The good news is, you don’t need a full-blown makeover to see a real difference. Landscaping doesn’t have to be all or nothing. If there’s one part of your yard that’s bothering you or that you’ve always wished looked a little better, we’re here to help.

Here are a few small projects that can make a big impact, without taking over your whole yard, or your whole summer:

• A Pollinator Pocket – Even a 4×4 corner can become a buzzing, blooming spot filled with butterfly-friendly perennials and fragrant herbs.
• Updated Foundation Beds – Sometimes all it takes is refreshing the plantings near your home’s foundation to make your exterior feel updated and intentional.
• Pathway Perfection – A charming stone or paver path through the lawn or garden adds both structure and story to your space.
• Container Gardens – From front porches to patios, container plantings offer instant beauty and flexibility with the seasons.
• Privacy Screening – A row of well-placed shrubs or ornamental grasses can make your yard feel more like a retreat.
• Front Entry Glow-Up – Add a small tree, new lighting, or colorful flowerbeds to completely transform your welcome home moment.

These kinds of projects are fast, effective, and often more budget-friendly than you might expect. Not only that, they still come with the same attention to detail and care that we bring to everything we do.

So if you’ve been wondering where to start or if your yard just feels like it’s missing something, let’s talk. No project is too minor to matter, and sometimes it’s those small upgrades that end up being your favorite part of the yard.
