Backyard

A back yard (or backyard) is a yard at the back of a house, common in suburban developments in the Western world.

Origin

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. As land value increases, houses are built nearer to each other. In order to preserve some of the open land, house owners may choose to allow construction on the side land of their houses, but not build in front of or behind their house in order to preserve some remnants of open surrounding land. The back area is known as the yard.

Depending on the size of the back yard, it may have any number of items (or none), such as:

Barbecue

Buildings such as: barn,chicken coop, garage, gazebo,guest house, outhouse, playhouse,sauna, shed,smokehouse, workshop, etc.

Compost bin

Decking

Fencing

Garden

Garden furniture (bench, patio table and chairs, umbrella, etc.)
