we bought a house and for the first time in our lives we will have a yard, a fairly large level one. what do people do in their yards? i'm not a gardener and our kids are too old for play structures. any other ideas?
Pee outside in it.... It's truly refreshing especially first thing in the morning. Depending on your yard's size and location this may or may not be a good idea. Try it sometime.

If you do it right you'll also be marking your territory.
You can put in seating areas with a smallish umbrella table and chairs. Someone else said trees. A yard entirely of lawn/grass is, in my opinion, boring so you can plant accent type flower beds.
Get a good garden design book and look through it for ideas.
You hire a landscape company if you do not care to garden. Then you build a little walking path for refreshing strolls where you marvel at the beautiful shrubery and flowers. Or you plant and pick tomatoes for your dinner. Or you get a dog and have a place for him to romp. Or you plant grass, hire a mower, and never go outside. Or you build a patio and a spa or pool. Or you become a hoarder and build shed after shed after shed.

Haha, I actually knew someone who did this on the boundries of his garden. Claimed it kept away critters.
