What is a "backyard"?
A backyard is the area of land located behind a house, typically used for outdoor activities or as a private space for relaxation. It is usually enclosed by fences or natural boundaries like trees or hedges. Backyards are often used for gardening, playing, barbecuing, or simply enjoying time outdoors. They can include features such as lawns, patios, flower beds, or even pools, depending on the size and design. A backyard provides a personal outdoor space for individuals and families to enjoy their leisure time.
