Even in a small backyard it seems we all want the same thing - an amazing outdoor space to hang out with their family and friends and also to have a nice little sanctuary for peace and quiet in our backyards.

Small? Very expensive! How about a real challenge and try a small yard...and a small budget? Now that would be impressive.

This is NOT the Average American back yard!! But, the backyard of designers. Really great ideas which is what the whole video was promoting/selling. I especially liked
the vertical plant walls and sunken aspects. Bring more!

Creating a focal point/destination that's visible from inside the house. Such a simple notion but adds such appeal. Great work! Thanks for the video and ideas!

[skipper]

My goodness!!!! Every one of those examples is absolutely beautiful!! Wish i had the budget and knowledge, to complete any one of them!! ❤️

Although I'm not always comfortable on barstools (I think they are built with tall people in mind), I do think the ideas of putting the bar on the back of the table height seating and the standing bar tables around columns were great space utilizing ideas. Love those pivoting stools on that railing bar too. Last example with the sunken area using a slope was so cozy looking and cool.

This was a well made video that offered so many great ideas and options.
Some of my favorites were adding a bar, adding water features like the vases or water coming out of stone.
I also loved adding an element of fire. it is a huge draw to the backyard. Beautifully done video!

I love the ideas for a sink small yards with an office on the side! And the ideas of a privacy screen with a living walls 🥰 thank you very much, Patricia

[moniquerich]

WOW! I absolutely love them ALL!!! Privacy, covered structure, built in seating are what I would LOVE in my backyard sanctuary!

[deborahnaybor]

Love the lean to style shed with the galvanized roof. A great way to get out of the weather without blocking your view.

[bgarrah]

Great video with lots of creative ideas. I just renovated my backyard and I can happily report that I have many of these features checked off the list. But I am excited to figure out a focal point for a piece of art behind a bench which is against the horizontal pressure treated lumber fencing. I am looking for an art piece that includes a mosaic type design using colourful porcelain or old pottery pieces framed out into a rectangle that could be mounted to the wall above the bench. Thanks for all the other ideas as well. Loved the small bar area ideas.

The average UK garden, you could fit a table and 4 chairs if your lucky. US small gardens are huge!
He needs to give UK some ideas.. I think he would like the challenge!!

[autolitics]

a rarity on YouTube, a truly informative and filler-free piece of educational and entertaining content. thanks!

[smallpatty]

Love your imagination this is what life is to and sharing to help others go forward to achieve their paradise at $$ in back our yards and enjoy our homes without having to be stressed about going home.

[susanhonkoski]

Loved the sunken seating area. We have a sloped yard too and I have been wracking my brain trying to imagine that space as an area to entertain. It probably won’t happen this year, but the inspiration has begun! Love, love, love your ideas!!!! Thank you! ❤🙋🏻‍♀️🏘❤️

[SamUndJet]

I’m most impressed by the possibilities presented by the garden feature. It adds so much to a space, especially with the inclusion of edible landscaping and fragrant herbs.

[crystalberry]

I love all of them! I love how you incorporated the same principles into every type of back yard.

[deni]

I liked the living wall, and a couple of the water features, also the jasmine in the frames, unusual and I am going to do it in the side of my house by the porch. Loved that idea. I can't actually have fire or water features unless very small, but love the sunken water feature at the end with the pink, purple lights. Very nice.

[melissasueferrin]

None of these yards were really small. How about a video for micro patios, like for condo dwellers.

[robthewaywardwoodworker]

I'm just in the middle of designing a patio kitchen/bar for a client, so this was timely and inspiring. Great ideas. I think the privacy is a key element. In urban settings, privacy is the one thing we lack. Any time I can design to add more privacy, that's always good. All the other stuff is great, but without privacy, who wants to be out there? Just my thoughts.
