5 Small Landscaping Projects That Add Value

You don’t need a full makeover to make your outdoor space shine. Here are five small projects that can deliver a big difference:

1. A new deck or patio area – Instantly adds usable space for relaxing or entertaining.

2. Planter boxes – Define edges, grow herbs, or add a visual focal point.

3. Entryway path – Clean lines and quality materials make a strong first impression.

4. Retaining or feature wall – Adds structure and interest, especially on uneven ground.

5. Screening or fencing – Improve privacy and define zones in a stylish way.

These small-scale projects are perfect for those starting out, working to a budget, or wanting to refresh an existing space. At Unearthed Landscapes, we’re just as happy helping with a custom deck or planter box as we are designing full-scale concepts. You’ll still get the same thoughtful design, quality materials, and expert build — no matter the size of the job.
