A side yard that works as hard as it looks This space is designed to be both functional and beautiful. The perfect potty-break area for pets while still feeling like part of the backyard retreat. A gravel path with limestone step stones makes it easy to walk through, while tall planters with star jasmine climb the fence in a diamond pattern for that Mediterranean-inspired charm. Solar lighting ties it all together, making the side yard safe, inviting, and just as thoughtfully designed as the rest of the backyard.
