Rear Entry

 

Visible rear entries should be welcoming to customers and designed with the same sensitivity as front entrances. Signage, display windows, planters, canopies, or awnings can all improve appearances. Of particular importance is a screened area for trash or building systems. Fencing or plantings can hide storage areas, service yards, loading areas, transformers, etc. and can do a lot to improve the appearance of the entire district. Your backyard may be someone's front yard!
In summary:
» Keep back entrances neat and eye appealing
