You don’t have to spend much money livening up a garden and making it a thriving and functional green space. And you don’t even have to hire a designer to think of new ways to make your garden and house look nice.
All you need is creativity and ideas to help you get started—you don’t even need to purchase a ton of trees for sale in Mississauga just to improve your outdoor space. That said, allow us to help you with these 6 low-cost small garden ideas that can liven up your outdoor space.
Put old tires to good use
Tires can be challenging to get rid of because many trash companies won’t take them. So, if you have old tires, why not use these as decorative elements for your bedroom?
Worry not if you don’t have old tires because recycled tires are easy to find and don’t cost much. You can get them for a few dollars at a local recycling centre, but most people are happy to give away any old tires they have.
You can stack and stagger tires to make planters, or you can fill one half with soil and hang it from a wall or fence to make a hanging planter. You can also repurpose old tires as a swing, making it a fun feature in your garden for your kids to play.
Consider painting or repainting
Painting is a simple and inexpensive way to bring your garden’s look and feel to a new level. You can paint pots, planters, and even your existing garden sculptures. You can also add fresh colour to a dull wall or fence to make it more interesting.
And if your walls and fences are already painted years ago, you can make them look new again by repainting them with a fresh coat of bright paint in warm colours. All you need is a wash of warm-coloured paint to liven things up. Warm colours add a romantic touch, and it’s an easy colour to use in a garden because plants and flowers stand out against it.
Strategize lighting fixtures installation location
Lighting is an essential part of your outdoor design that can make or break your outdoor’s look, so you need to get its location right.
Outdoor lighting in Toronto can be considered a quick fix that can transform your outdoor space into a relaxed, modern vibe for a night of entertainment from an intimate, cozy feel for a romantic outdoor date night.
Your lighting fixtures don’t have to cost a lot. Sometimes, just one light fixture and the right location are enough. One inexpensive option you can go for are wall lights. They keep the floor clear and draw attention to the best parts of your garden.

Choose pieces that serve more than one function
Are you worried about having a limited budget and an equally limited outdoor space to work around? You can resolve this matter by choosing stylish and functional pieces.
Choose benches, stools, and side tables made of wood that have built-in storage for storing cushions and throws when not in use. Units like this can also hold and keep drinks cold, which is helpful for cocktail hour.
You could also use them to build up a modern plant display to show off your beautiful pots of greenery and keep your plant supplies neat inside. Then, if you need to use the pieces to accommodate people, you can conveniently move the plants.
Group plants effectively
Grouping your plants is a simple way to make them look cohesive. Putting all your plants into one place looks much better than when scattered across your outdoor space. This works exceptionally well if they are grouped on steps, framed by a door or window, or placed on a deck.
When it comes to ideas for small gardens, every bit of space outside matters—even more so if you have a small garden and are trying to save money. To turn your garden into a place where you can relax in style, you have to see its potential and figure out how to make the most of it.
