Ideas for Backyard

arkcard
9 years ago

This is our first summer in our new house, and we need help figuring out what to do with the backyard. The biggest issue is that there are lots of trees, some with very low canopies, that allow very little sunlight. As you can see in the pictures below, the lack of sunlight is a big obstacle in trying to grow grass in some areas. The bottom of the yard gets plenty of sunlight, so the grass is fine in that area. The top of the yard doesn't get as much sunlight, so some parts of the top grow alright, some grow a little, and some don't grow at all. I've got an area in the middle of the yard where a child's playset used to be. Any ideas on what could be done to make the yard look better? And clearing trees isn't an option at this time.

Thanks
