Blonde Girl Posing In The Backyard Garden With A Chair And Pink Towel

Definition
A back garden arises from the distribution of land around a property. Land will often surround a property, unless it is semi-detached (sharing a single wall with a neighbouring property) or terraced (sometimes called row-housing), in which two lateral walls are shared with neighbouring properties.
In these conditions, land at the back of the property is separated by the property itself, and in many cases can only be accessed by passing through the house.
