Need Help with Back Yard

8 years ago

Hi All!

We are needing a major face lift on the back of our house. It's such an eyesore for me. The two pain points are: organization of toys/yard equipment and ground covering. As you can tell, we have brick pavers, stone pavers, and faux grass.

We don’t have a shed, so I know that would eliminate a lot of the clutter but that's not in the budget right now. Please send me ideas to organize toys/lawn equipment and ideas for ground coverings.

I was thinking we could do a 4 foot privacy fence enclosure-like to hide the toys from the street view. And then finish the faux grass area with pavers (whenever they go on sale at Lowes again). Thoughts? Better ideas?

How about some covers for the bbq and lawnmower? That'd be under $50.

For the looks of the kid stuff, give the pavers a good scrub and clean the fake grass with a broom or shop vac. It will look a lot better. The toys can be washed in the swimming pool before you put it away for winter.

pavers and fencing will add up to the near cost of a shed, I think. Keep an eye on craigslist for a shed. We had a Lifetime brand resin(?) shed from costco at our last house that served us well.

This is a duplicate thread that will confuse and splinter whatever conversation occurs. It would be best to delete it. If Houzz does not allow deleting, it would be better to declare it dead and have the discussion occur only in the first thread about this subject.

@apple_pie_order We do have a BBQ cover, we had just used the grill and it was still hot. I'll look for a lawnmower cover, I didn't know they made those! I'll definitely start with a good scrub of everything.

@bengesbride Ah very true, I'll keep my eyes open on Craigslist for something.

@Yardvaark I deleted the other thread right after I made this thread because I kept having issues with it - it kept being a 404 page. Please let me know if you still see it.
