side yard

Flanking outdoor strip

A side yard is the strip of land along the side of a house, typically narrower than the front or back yard.

It runs between the house and the property line or fence: We store the garbage bins in the side yard.

Side yards often serve as utility corridors for air conditioning units, garden hoses, or pathways to the backyard.
