A backyard is the open space at the back of someone's house where they often spend time and grow plants or flowers.
The word "backyard" usually refers to a specific area outside of your home that's just for you. You might think of it as a smaller version of the front yard, but instead, it's behind the house. It could be small enough for a few pieces of furniture and some greenery or large enough for a garden, pool, or even a tiny patio where you can sit with friends and family. The idea is that this space belongs to your home and is meant for relaxation or entertainment.
(Australia, Canada, New Zealand, US) A yard to the rear of a house or similar residence.
