Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Mar 17, 2016 12:39 pm Hi all, I've done a quick search but couldn't find what I was after. I'm having trouble trying to picture the size of our backyard and wondering if anyone is able to post a pic of their similar size yard? My block is 14x36.5m and the house is 23.25m long. My site plan says there will be around 9 meters between the back of the house and the back fence, meaning the backyard is around 14m wide by 9m deep. Equalling about 125sqm. Anyone have a similar yard they're willing to share a pic or two of? Cheers Re: Backyard size 3Mar 22, 2016 10:58 am Ours is not dissimilar in size to yours, but it is wider and on a slope (side to side). Plus the house is only at frame stage. I have no pics of the back as yet as it is just a huge dirt pit at present. My blog: tashandpaul.wordpress.com Re: Backyard size 8Sep 19, 2016 9:51 am Thanks so much for your reply! So in that pic, it's about 5m from alfresco to fence? And I guess about 6 or 7 from the house to the fence? Will be very similar to ours! Maybe it will be a bit better than I thought Yours looks good! Thanks again, Re: Backyard size 9Sep 19, 2016 9:40 pm B_Bear Thanks so much for your reply!

Thanks again, Yep 5m from Alfresco to fence and 7.5m from back of house to fence (sorry photo doesn't show it) The yard looked tiny until it was landscaped now there is plenty of room.

A good guide is one pace is about 1m for most. Take a few things you might use as markers. Re: Backyard size 19Mar 24, 2017 9:08 pm pshome Hi All, I have a tiny backyard of 12.5x4 and idea and photos of those who have a similar dimension would be awesome! Thanks. Our old place was 12.5x3 across the back so you'll have a metre more than this... will feel much bigger if you have an alfresco onto the back too!
