Side yards can pose a challenge when it comes to landscaping as they are often narrow and lack natural light. However, with the right design ideas, you can transform these spaces into beautiful and functional areas that enhance the overall appeal of your property.
As homeowners aim to make their yards an extension of their homes, they are increasingly creating dedicated outdoor spaces for eating, cooking, and relaxation.
Since urban lots are shrinking, every square inch is at a premium. While front and back yards get most of the attention, side yards tend to be neglected, becoming wasted space.
A side yard is primarily seen as a route between the front and back yards. The area tends to be dark and narrow and present unique design challenges, so the potential to create an attractive and functional space is often missed.
It’s no secret that the side-yard is sometimes overlooked as an important part of residential landscaping. “Often neglected, seldom perfected” might easily apply as its mantra.
