The side yard is that overlooked, forgotten space connecting the front yard with the backyard. It might not be your typical ‘yard’: it could be a barren narrow pathway between your home and your neighbour’s, or it could be an overgrown bowling alley where retired gardening equipment resides.
Either way, besides being a means to an end, the side yard is worthy of being as enticing and useful as other yard spaces.
Side yards often are narrow and more utilitarian in nature (think faucets and hoses, garbage or recycling containers, and storage).
But with a little planning and creativity, you can make your side yard both useful and appealing, whether it shows to passersby or just from your window.
Here are 31 creative ideas to turn your side yard from a forgotten space into a beautiful oasis.
