A well designed city garden or courtyard garden,

Can provide a welcome respite from city life or just relaxation. Many designs are an extension of the home, often chosen to compliment the interior finish.

Planting tends to be minimalistic, adding depth to the estate. This can be achieved by turning your wall green with the use of climbers, while at the same time adding privacy. You could also make the area look bigger by using big planters with a mixture of colour and cottage plants.
