Backyard Area Improvement Suggestions (VIC)

Good Day All,

Looking for Ideas on what to do with the backyard space esp. where it got a slope.

video starting area is where bit of a problem as its not flat and after the shed (left side area) is more flat.

I can or was thinking of paving half or steppings stones and mulch where cloth lining is ( near shed) but don't know ( cant think of) the cost efficient way of landscaping the other half so requesting for some ideas

Below link contains short video showing the area:


Thanks for your time and support.

 

Could the roller door be used for vehicle access? I'm wondering if it might be worth moving the shed so vehicles could drive through.

 

Thanks for reignite the idea, space will fit motorbike/scooter but not wide or big enough for a car.

I thought at one stage about above to put a shade cloth on top as well. But will consider this again.

 

How do you want to use your backyard?

Just more attractive?
Kid’s play area?
Easy care or happy to maintain garden/s?
Clothes drying area?

Figure out how it will be best used for you and your family first.

 

Intention is to tidy up much we can and maintain with ease. Should look better than existing situation.

Have a small paved area next to the back door and is covered which is used for seating or clothes drying when needed. Next to that is slope towards plants which need to be landscaped

Clothes drying area is available already, it's sorted that end.

Kids play area is front yard at this stage which is plenty to run around and have public park right front of the house as well.

 

It's pretty small.

I'd be tempted to invest in some screening plants/hedge against the fence and building and use premium synthetic turf and paving for the yard/walkways. I'm a (natural) turf fan but it might be a pain for an area that small.
