Please respect your neighbors house by remembering not to let bushes and other things contact their house.

Be careful what you show you did to your yard. The Trools might see it and report you.

Since no one is answering you, you might go to
The Villages - Florida's Friendliest Active Adult 55+ Retirement Community and look up courtyard villas for sale and scroll through the pictures. Most usually show pics of the side alley you are referring to.

Don’t worry 👍👍
We are over for a couple of weeks next weekend and will pop over, look at the new house and design a few spectacular features
How’s that!

Paint doorways on the walls. Plant some clinging vines. Paint fake bricks on the concrete. Decorate your backyard space as a cafe.

this is why I seldom read anything here except classifieds. I thought this would be interesting yet there are two pages of replies and only one at all helpful--suggesting to look at photos of resales. the op was asking for creative ideas, if you don't have one, don't reply. and yes, I have just contributed to non-reply reply...but it just gets so annoying when someone asks for help and they get extraneous, non-contributory responses.

I have a friend that painted the concrete walkway and created a shuffleboard court.

If you go into The Villages sales website and choose preowned courtyard villas you’ll see quite a few for sale. Look at the pictures for each sale and you might get a good idea for decorating the alley. I’ve attached one pic that looks pretty nice.
