A back yard laid out for children who are going to fall off things. The playset and the sandbox sit in a twenty-two foot circle of mulch, which is the soft surface the playset instructions ask for, drawn as a circle so the cubic yards come out right. The trampoline gets the open lawn on the other side, away from the tree.
A paver patio by the back door keeps the adults within sight of both, a shrub bed along the back fence softens the boundary, and the fence itself runs round three sides. Everything in the play circle is placed as an item, so the total lists the playset and the sandbox as their own lines.
