Landscaping for Small Yards With a Jacuzzi

Place trees around the property perimeters or corners to offer color, privacy and shade to your yard. Add color to the landscape with flowering varieties such as a cherry tree, crape myrtle, dogwood, magnolia or mountain ash. Shade varieties include aspen, birch and beech.

Install the Jacuzzi in an open area of the yard to make use of the entire space in the landscape, or place it on an available deck or patio for convenient proximity to the home.

Plant a variety of shrubs around the Jacuzzi to add color and texture into the landscape. For Jacuzzis on a patch of concrete in the yard, use the soil surrounding the concrete to plant shrubs, or use containers to display plants on a deck or patio. Colorful shrubs include azaleas, lilac, barberry, butterfly bush and hydrangea.

Lay paving stones leading from the backdoor of the home to the Jacuzzi if it's not located on a deck or patio. Between the paving stones, add ground cover such as thyme or mint to soften the look of the walkway. Alternatively, add a gravel path leading from the backdoor to the Jacuzzi and on to other parts of the yard, such as a garden or reading area.

Incorporate trees and shrubs of different heights to create depth in the landscape for a spacious feel. Varying heights between trees and shrubs also provide vertical interest and create the illusion of a larger space.
