Expanding yard space - need ideas

3 years ago

Hi all! We have this plot of land that is part of our property but never got developed. As you can see, it’s between a detached garage and the neighbor’s driveway. It’s about 1400 sq feet and we considered building an ADU on top but can’t do to zoning issues related to distance from neighbor’s house and power line. So, we’ve decided to grade it slightly, add retaining wall all around, and connect to existing yard. Wondering if you have any recommendations for a nice/durable fence that would go on top of the retaining wall (i.e. should i do wood or vinyl?) and what kind of ground covering i should put on this space. Heard turf isn’t great - thinking concrete slabs with rocks in between? Would ideally like something that furniture could sit nicely on top of and low maintenance. Also looking for recommendations for trees to put along that back wall that separates my property from my neighbor’s. Looking for something sparse that won’t create a mess or attract critters. But provide some privacy and mask the otherwise aesthetically unpleasant wall they have. Thank you in advance!!
