I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'usual' is the definition.

'big green space or much smaller one' is the wordplay.
'big green space' becomes 'common'.
'much smaller one' becomes 'garden' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'common'+'or'+'garden'='COMMON-OR-GARDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for common or garden that I've seen before include "words associated with market" , "Familiar" , "usual type" , "Unexceptional" , "Ordinary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
