A courtyard garden is usually a small enclosed walled garden, and often a dark area, so the warm, Mediterranean colours of Tile and Rustic Red Cobble Carpet Stones would be a perfect choice. Other small-scale paving solutions should be considered to echo the intimacy of the area. Because of the size, planting is often in containers, which should be grouped in differing sizes and styles with a variety of plants to add interest and texture to the space. Alternatively build raised planters and fill with a mass of colourful shrubs.
