First, lay stone pavers in the side yard and let the grass automatically cover up the empty space.

When they grow it will look awesome and smooth.

Just trim the grass every month and clean the weeds if there are any. This is the cleanest idea I can give you. So give it a try.

2. Edge with Plants

Edge your side yard with plants and keep in good shape. You can use shrubs or arborvitaes for this design as shown in the picture.

The shrubs will also help you build privacy in the yard and decorate the area.

Then lay mulch to reduce the weeds and dirt in the side yard and you are done here.

3. Lay Black Mulch

Lay Black mulch in the side yard and plant any plants or flowers you want. The black mulch will do two things.

One, it will help you reduce the dirt in the yard and two, it will improve the overall curb appeal.

Then edge the areas with stones or bricks to complete this design.

4. Lay Bricks on the Side Yard
