Behind a townhouse there is often no room for a lawn at all, and no reason to want one. This plan paves the whole space, keeps a three-foot planter strip along the back fence for flowers, and runs a hedge behind it for privacy. A table, a grill in the far corner and two pots of ornamental grass by the door furnish it.
Paving the lot is the biggest line here by some distance; the planner prices the pavers over their gravel base, and swapping them for poured concrete shows what the saving actually is. String lights across the middle are priced by the foot.
