Your backyard, garden or deck aren't the only exteriors your home features. Many homes have side yards, too – those long, often narrow paths that run alongside the home, often considered purely utilitarian areas, used for keeping hoses, garbage containers, or even garden supplies.
But these spaces can contribute hugely to your home's outdoor space if dealt with properly. All you need is a little planning and creativity to make this space magical, whether it's big enough to spend time in, or just act as a transition that adds to the wow-factor of your backyard.
