Talk:Yard (land)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] In British English.

I've always lived in a house which had both a garden and a yard. It would be common for the yard to be immediately adjacent to the doorway to the property, a garden would be a little further away - though it may be as little as a single pace from the door, across the yard and into the garden. The Garden is made of soft earth where plants such as trees, grass or flowers may grow. The Yard is always covered with a hard surface where nothing will grow. The surface is typically covered with concrete, tarmac or paved with slabs of brick, stone or concrete.
