Park at the back of the house

Dear cecil,
Is it bad to have a park at the back of the house? Thanks.

Hi,

I understand why you’re concerned. From your description, it sounds like the park behind your home probably doesn’t have water but is mostly flat.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. You can create a solid “backing” behind your house by putting up a fence. Good fencing options include brick walls, fences with creepers, fences with bushes in between, or fences with privacy strips like those used in army camps, as well as wooden plank fences for added privacy.
2. Adding a few medium-sized trees (not large ones) behind the house can also be helpful.
3. This isn’t about Feng Shui, but ideally, the park shouldn’t be a playground where ball games are played, as this could lead to broken windows or damage to your roof.

Warmest Regards
Cecil

The text explains how to improve the back of a home facing a flat park by adding protective features like fencing and trees, while noting practical concerns such as avoiding nearby ball games that could cause property damage.

 

Key Takeaways
 

- A flat park behind a home may require added “backing” for support and privacy.  
- Solid fencing options include brick walls, creeper-covered fences, bush-lined fences, privacy-strip fences, or wooden plank fences.  
- Planting medium-sized trees behind the house provides additional support and protection.  
- Parks used for ball games can pose risks like broken windows or roof damage.
