The back yard leaves me with quite a challenge.
It's large enough for a decent play area for my daughter, but I have to fight erosion (due to a significant slope away from the house) and take a balanced area for xeriscape landscaping.
My only tree in the back yard is a crepe myrtle and it's on the side of the house. My neighbors' trees inconveniently shade parts of my yard and leave the rest to scorch.
It needs a path around the house to the a/c unit and electric meter to guide the meter-checkers away from things that could unintentionally get trampled.
In short:
Fight erosion,
Have a safe, clean play area,
Have beautiful, safe, low maintenance areas,
Revitalized unhealthy parts of the lawn,
Provide reasonable access to important parts of the house and yard.
