Our house has a side yard whose main feature used to be that it didn’t have any nice features (Figure 1). This tiny, unattractive bit of lawn tended to collect stuff, including, among other items, an HVAC unit, a radon fan, trash cans, and bikes. Tempting as it was to just fence in the debris and hide it from view, doing so risked accumulating even more junk. A better idea was to make the area attractive enough that we’d want to keep it neat.
