I would be glad if we could resolve the question of how to tag private backyards/gardens or whatever you want to call that in one word - I mean the green area around family houses, often only grass, sometimes few trees or other plants (varying from roses to a bed of carrot), usually fenced and definitely no public access.
I assume this area goes under landuse='residential', so whatever other tag goes there, it shouldn't be landuse. Some people tag this as leisure='garden', but in my opinion a lawn behind a family house hardly qualifies for this tag, in fact according to the descriptions on wiki it's more consistent with leisure='park'... I think neither of them is correct. To the proposed solutions in this thread: * highway=pedestrian, area=yes - It doesn't really make sense to me to tag private fenced and _green_ areas by highway tag. * surface=grass, surface=lawn, surface=whatever - I don't like this because what I really want to map is not that my neighbour has a lawn behind his house, but the fact that there is a private "green" property - I think it makes no sense to try to map and tag every piece of these areas like "this" is grass, "this" is a bed of carrot, "there" are roses, "here" we have some bushes etc. * leisure='garden' or leisure='park' - see above Best regards, Petr Morávek
