back yards
Behind the house
Back yards is the plural of back yard—the outdoor area behind a house, typically private and used for recreation, gardening, or relaxation.
The two-word spelling emphasizes the literal space; the one-word backyard often functions as an adjective: backyard barbecue, backyard pool.
