+1, I find barrier=fence/wall/gate/entrance quite usefull in this context,
parking and footways, trees, ... as well. You might also look on site
relations for this. Don't know if we already have a tag for determined
pieces of land (parcels), but I think we should have (some kind of
boundary), even if in most cases that data won't be available at the moment
(sometimes it is though).

cheers,
Martin
