We extended our home all the way to the back and therefore, we do not have a small little garden behind. However ... we do have a back lane, which by right is public or government property. Our back lane is protected by two gates at the end of the each end house, so in a way it gives us a little security.
We had excess tiles from our renovation and therefore decided to tile the back lane as we foresee that we will be using the back lane often. We also made a washing area at our back lane. This is to facilitate when we entertain and the washing of the dishes can be done outside. Our laundry is also hung behind and lots of wood work projects is done at our back lane. By the way, we had mix reaction when we tiled the back lane, my mother's was that we were helping out the local city council by tiling their area (sarcastically). Our neighbours welcomed the idea as it kept our back lane clean and some of them were considering doing it. Our relatives and friends thought that it made our back lane look clean and tidy.
