Vertical Planter
A vertical planter or flower wall not only beautifies your side yard but helps cover less attractive home essentials, like an air conditioner unit or utility box.
In this side yard by @mrs.caragay, white planters with easy hooks hang from a white vinyl plank wall. The plants can be rearranged or added to as needed. Here’s a similar option.

Slate Walkway
This side yard by @amyailian is so narrow that a walkway is all that would fit. So why not make that walkway as beautiful as possible?
Slate tile, gravel and a planter filled with lavender make the small space special. The concrete orbs give it a simple, chic something extra.

Play House
Utilize your side yard for a play house so your kids have their own happy hideaway. That’s what Kris from @makingthisfeelhomey did, and the project was a labor of love. They flattened the area, built the play house, made a short retaining wall with a bench and installed artificial turf, all in a couple of weeks!
If you don’t have the time for the DIY option, check out this ready-made black and white play house. You can also use these DIY play house plans. Skip the scalloped trim on the roof edge and paint it white with black trim for a modern look.
