You can have the most elaborate backyard around the neighborhood, but if not functional have been built in vain. We all want beautiful flourishing gardens, but when we have a family, we must also take into account the needs of other members of the same. Divide the space in your yard in two or three visual spaces, one for play and relaxation, one for gardening and maybe a pet. An open, grassy is ideal for children. Here you can set a table for outdoor dining or for a romantic summer evening dinner. Do you have a fireplace? Keep part of your garden especially for depositing wood fire, but make sure you are at a considerable distance from the house or animals that can cause damage.

What about pets? You can build for these members some special family spaces, where you can play and exercise. Before shrubs and ornamental plants plants, surround the pet space. Cats and dogs tend to be attracted just by the things we try to keep them away. Keep the eyes of passers-by 'far from his personal life. Before planning the scenario, you must have before it a place for trash. It would not be nice have a beautiful garden right next to the garbage cans. These can be effectively hidden in some kind of surrounded space, decorated on the sides with life fence.

Functionality is an important factor in your garden, so you have to think about children, small pets and family assets before you plant anything. Save a portion of the chair especially for you, which you can plant whatever you want and leave others some space to breathe freely. You will find it more satisfying this way, once the whole family is happy with her garden and could even bring their personal ideas for it. It is important that personal space is respected and that is why the garden should not be very wide, occupying all available space. Occasionally build a road or some banks where can relax and admire your work.
