backyard ideas
Comments (3)Checking - is location ok for barbecue or whatever is under the plastic? No grass now, could place solid material for a group of chairs and fire pit? or another purpose. Fire can be moved away from fence of course... Is there anything you / yours want to do - do you have children?...See MoreTiny Backyard Ideas
Comments (10)That’s a nice space! What’d I’d do, if budget allows … Use large pavers or deck tiles to make a seating area inside the bigger bed: A portable grill: https://nymag.com/strategist/2017/04/best-grills-portable-electric-weber-gas-charcoal.html You’d have plenty of room for two chairs and a table. I don’t know your style … some examples: In the rest of the bed, the other bed on the left, and on the current path, I’d have a few containers with plants that can take low-light conditions. Trellis for interest on left side fence: If there’s a way to have them, patio string lights would be nice: Again, I don’t know budget, or growing conditions there, just some general ideas. And all easy to move and use somewhere else later. Even though this isn’t a balcony, a good resource for ideas would be searching how to decorate apt balcony … lots of great inspiration for utilizing small urban spaces....See MoreSmall backyard ideas?
Comments (3)Who has to mow the patch of grass? Who takes care of the greenspace outside your gate?

I like Brass Buttons, a ferny looking plant but don’t know your location. 19x 15 is enough space for a small table with at least 4 chairs, a couple more chairs, a side table, couple big potted plants & voila! you’ve got a nice entertainment space. Being on the end with that big tree on other side provides a bit of privacy too....See MoreBlank Canvas- Full-sun backyard ideas
Comments (3)Lawns are the biggest water users in the landscape but if you really want one buffalo grass uses less than traditional turf or clover. decomposed granite would be another option and doesn't need much by way of care. California has a lot of great native shrubs and trees like lemonade berry, catalina cherry, coastal live oak and the lovely manzanitas. They are great low water use plants and you have a lot to choose from....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
