| Home Backyard |
Backyard is a yard at the back of a house,
common in suburban developments in the Western world. In cold-weather regions,
it is economical in low land value regions to use open land surrounding a house
for vegetable gardening during summers and allowing strongly demanded sunlight
to enter house windows from a low horizon angle during winters.
(1) Outdoor living and entertaining,
(2) Recreation,
(3) Utilitarian activities, such as
gardening and storage.

The activity that goes on in one’s
backyard becomes the visual business of surrounding neighbors. This tends to
discourage use of the backyard for people who enjoy privacy. With time, these
same backyards generally become more enclosed by fences and plant materials to
create some separation from neighboring sites.

Like front entry walks, many exterior
terraces are devoid of any personality or character. They are cold, impersonal
spaces that are uninviting to use for any length of time. For many, it is a
drab experience to sit on a concrete slab with nothing to look at except an
open expanse of lawn or the backs of the neighbors’ houses.

A vegetable garden is often stuck in one
of the back corners of the yard. It is placed some distance from the nearest
water source yet still close enough to the house to be seen as a brown patch of
bare earth in the non-growing season.
