small yard

17 years ago

My brother is trying to sell his house and his back yard is small and rectangular. It has 2 lawn chairs and a grill in it, no trees, shrubs, flowers, nothing else. Please help, I need websites with photos of small yards . I searched for hours after googling "small yard" and "small yard photos" but only come up with tips for small yards and maybe one or two pictures of a close up on items to use. I need a few pictures of the whole yard, not just a close up of a container. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go to the library. Look for books on small spaces. What size is your brother's backyard. Depending on the area as small yard could be 3 foot by 5 foot or any size bigger than that. Also need where it is located, city & state and anytype of fencing.

Some people are looking for the bare backyard so don't give up on the blank yard. I have found that what ever you plant the buyers will remove it so do not spend much money.

Give us sizes of the back yard and someone will suggest some plants.

I would put a cheap bush in the corner and edge the lawn with bright annuals such as alssyium, petunias or small geraniums. Sorry I can not spell today.
