DIY Backyard Patio Makeover on a Budget! 🏡🪴 EASY Outdoor Living Space Ideas

You’re not going to believe how this neglected patio has transformed into a beautiful, functional & colorful outdoor living space in my backyard! Today I'm making over our patio from start to finish with some DIY furniture and gardening hacks! Because this makeover needed to be completed on a serious budget, we filled this patio with free or secondhand outdoor furniture & decor. By adding in small, affordable changes like $10 string lights and basic landscaping, I’m confident we can effortlessly entertain and lounge around in the summer months! I hope these affordable design tricks give you some inspiration to revamp your own backyard, patio, rooftop or balcony space — despite your budget or experience!

Very nice. I love it. You made everything come together. I make my own mosquito yard spray every year & have never had any issues. It’s pet & kid friendly too. Take 1 bottle of cheap blue mouthwash like the kind you get at Walmart. 3 cups of Epson salts and 3 cans of stale cheap beer. I open them the night before and pour them into a bowl to go flat. Mix it all together until the salt dissolves. Pour into a spray bottle and hit the yard all over. Choose a day with nice weather and no chance of rain for at least 6 hours. It will last for a very long time but you may need to reapply it after a heavy rainfall. I use this recipe too when camping and it really does work. I used to live on a farm and as you spray you can literally see the mosquitoes, moths etc fly out of the lawn.
Have a great Summer enjoying your new chill space! Show us an update on how your gardens are doing. 😎

This is such a great example of how doing what you can with what you have is not only totally feasible, but the result can also be really fun and thoughtful and unique to your personal tastes! I love, love, love how this turned out.

Drill some holes in the corners of the round green table so I won’t hold water anymore….Sams has the best deal on solar lights

You have a nice large area to plant and design in. This is the first time I have seen your channel. I am so happy to hear a woman who is will spoken and who is able to think of alternative ideas when worķing on a budget. Good Job!

This is awesome, all the sweet touches! Looks like it could be featured in sunset magazine

I thought here we go another power washing video, boy was I wrong. Everything looks absolutely amazing. Plus I always learn something watching your content. So good. Definitely worth all the effort to enjoy such a cool spot.

I was raised in Fresno, married and raised my family there. But, we moved out of CA, and we now have 80 acres in WI. I am new at gardening, my 3rd yr. My husband did all gardening in CA. Now he grows 2 huge veg. gardens, and I'm doing the flowers. I have 8 flower gardens which is a lot of work for me. My show pc. is a claw foot bathtub which I painted like a cow, and my friend made me a huge wooden head and she painted it. So cute! I have trailing petunias and it is just beautiful. Your free bench is so cute. Great job!

[veronicajackson]

Beautiful! Your back yard looks like a lovely space to spend time alone or with friends and family. I hope you'll show updates as the space evolves.

[MattieDianeMunson]

Can’t wait to see the mature plantings

[chrisleon]

I love it! I love that you reused many of the items you already had but made it look fresh.

[lindaroyal]

Looks really good! Lots of work, very ambitious. You were fortunate that previous tenants left items behind that you could incorporate into your plan. I really like the bench and the color. It's a very nice area for relaxing and enjoying all your work!

[flyoverurbangarden]

You did an excellent job. Very attractive and creative.

[kellykiley]

That was great no nonsense narration and a beautiful make over.

[kellieroth]

The bench and coffee table are perfect and beautiful! 😮 great job!!!❤❤❤

[lindamixon]

Things can be so difficult when having to stay on a budget (I know this personally), but you were able to pull off a beautiful well thought out patio for not much money. Good for you. I also love your soft speaking voice. Your video is great. Thanks for sharing.

[carolyn]

Wow what an amazing job. Must have a party now to show it off. 😊
