The area at the side of your house, no matter what size you are dealing with, does tend to be seen as a bit of a practical space. A storage space even. A spot to house the hose, the trash cans, the outdoor tap, the kid’s toys –

it’s rarely seen as a place that can be turned into a beautiful extension of your garden, with planting and landscaping.

But as all of these beautiful side yard ideas prove, it is possible to make this space more than something purely functional.

The side yard is often an afterthought in the garden-design process — since it’s small and hidden from view, it’s easy to overlook.

With a bit of effort and imagination, you can transform this little patch of land into an attractive and useful space. Boost the curb appeal of your home with the help of these beautiful side yard ideas.
