Ideas for closing in back yard

Posted by javaandjazz z6 CT (My Page) on

Hello Everyone,
I don't know why I didn't know about this forum! I have a very small urban yard...all of 50' x 100'. Big 2 family house with a 2 car garage in the back yard! I want to close in or fence off my tiny back yard and was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites or books I can get some ideas from? I only have about 4-5 feet in back of the garage. The yellow/gold house is the disaster in back of mine. Or, maybe you all can give me some input? My neighbor next door is very nice and her driveway and garage are also practically in my back yard and the house directly in back of me is a total disaster that is a rental and the people who live there don't care about doing anything, not even cutting the grass. Here are some pictures. Thanks, Richie

RE: Ideas for closing in back yard

The photos didn't come through, but I would suggest Italian Cypress, it's thin and grows tall. Brush cherry will also work, but you'll have to trim it.
Good luck!
