Hello everybody - Micah Outdoor Living Guy with some low-cost options for the backyard.
1) String Lights: string lights are low cost, and they are very attractive. They light up your space adding distinction to your entire outdoor area. A low-cost option adding loads of value.
2) Simple Fire Pit: another low-cost backyard idea is a simple fire pit. You might think that's a bit expensive, but this is something you can do yourself very easily. A wood burning fire pit with brick from a local hardware store - build the base - fill the walls.
3) Backyard Movie Theatres: a low-cost backyard idea is an outdoor movie theater. No, it does not cost that much to create a DYI. I think I spent like $30 for my screen and then a simple projector - there are many different price points.
4) Water Features: another low-cost option for a backyard idea is a water feature. You can go very cost effective with these do-it-yourself projects. A flowerpot turns into a beautiful bubbler or you could do more of a meandering water feature.
5) Wood Retaining Wall: Using wood to retain the property can be a cost-effective option instead of building it out of concrete or concrete block. or some of the other material that he could have cost option for
6) Dry Creek Beds: are cool features - they are basically River Rock which you can buy in bulk at an inexpensive price point. They create a nice destination of the nice but also do a phenomenal job of handling drainage.
7) Gravel Patio: on a budget - use gravel as a patio. You can do this in a way that makes it look like it was stylistically what you chose instead of a low-cost option.
8) Hammocks: Create a little destination using a hammock.
9) Privacy Screens: Privacy is a huge concern for many people and there are many low-cost options.

here are string lights.... in already beautiful backyards....

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thanks Frank for your positive viewpoint!

[@phatmonkey11]

😂 Here's my low cost backyard: Go to shed. Retrieve Christmas lights. Tack up on back of house. Dig hole. Put leftover scrap lumber inside. Hose down lumber with lighter fluid. Throw in match. Invite 20 best friends over. Make fish tacos and margaritas with fresh limes. You have the best backyard they've ever seen. You are a legend.

[@sevbanks]

That shit pissed me off🤣

[@cd6889]

Haha exactly what I was thinking and came to comment on

[@Maritza-wx1kx]

Yeah, imagine those “already beautiful” backyards without the lights.

[@erinslankard9273]

How about show us what a budget makeover would look like on a crappy yard instead of these million dollar homes that obviously have no “budget”

These are ideas that can be used at every budget level. I hope u found some inspiration... Thank u for the comment

These are not million dollar homes just decorated nice. How bout take the ideas and use your imagination and stop whining

your dry river bed draining from the downspout, will add big rocks, do a drainage bed to the cedar tree, make a oriental bridge across & drain from the water barrel when it is full, love your ideas & inspired even more to do it from seeing this.

[@jayklee88]

Another budget idea is building or repurposing a piece of furniture (like a potting bench) into a bar/food serving station. We created different zones in our yard (eating/games/food and beverage/lounge and conversation). Each of the zones has a heat source (different sizes of fire pits and picked fuel sources that matched the zone type), lighting, and a speaker. Using plants also makes our yard feel more thought out and relaxing.

I have a small backyard, it is actually the side of the house but is used as a backyard. Since it is the side of the house, you can see it from the street. Your videos offer such wonderful ideas and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Sounds great! Here is another side yard/backyard we completed: paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/backyard-patio-designs/

[@samu3813]

Setting all this up is great. Keeping them up and maintained is the PITA. If you live where there's trees and fall leaves, moss and already, how do you keep things clean? When it's time to wash your patio, how do you protect the furnitures and all that nice and fancy walls, pots and chairs? Even when you don't have trees, your neighbors might. Which means wind brings them to yours. Ideas would be welcomed.

[@irairod5160]

I like the combination of gravel and large pavers or flagstone. I garden for pollinators and other wildlife, and I try to improve the environment by doing as many sustainable things as I can in an urban townhouse, so it's important to me to maintain permeability so the water can seep into the ground, rather than run off. Thank you for all of these images, they were very inspiring!

[@Champagne4loulou]

I've just moved into a new build and the garden is a blank canvas. It's a big project and I have a few ideas but I'm on a budget so doing it all myself. I really like the water feature, and privacy screens, also the gravel patio as that is what I'm doing. Thank you, I will definitely checking out your ideas again 😀👍🏻

I have a nature area about 50 x 60 and it’s raised up anywhere from a half foot to 3 foot on two sides and the front part of it which runs along the sidewalk has a landscaping block retaining wall so on one side I’m having trouble with runoff and I’m working on tackling that problem.

[@Flusenmonster]

My favourite idea is the concrete sitting bench with the wooden slats and the metal fire pit (03:12). Definitely a DIY option which won`t leave you bankrupt.

[@ef5842]

My neighbors put up string lights and thought they would leave them on all night. They did it for months. Apparently they took them down for maybe some bylaw. It really was'nt serving any real purpose, and it gave their yard a creepy look anyway. I was glad when they took them down. I'd rather have lights that come on for two seconds if there is something to trip the light, but usually a back door light is sufficient for that. You can even install an indoor bell for late night movement happening, but it's usually from a backyard animal. There's usually nothing to worry about. In case of cayote or skunks, movement lights would make sense. Otherwise, a neighbor going out in their own yard should'nt be tripping on someone's lights, for privacy sake. A good backyard idea on a budget would be to plant perrenials. My favorite backyard idea on a budget is simply to keep the yard clean and free of clutter. I don't put my trash and recycling out until trash day pickup. I think the less, the better. But a few appealing chairs with a privacy screen is also very nice. ❤

We try to use a little of our tax return each year to do a small project...usually $500-600. We've also used our home depot credit with no interest and then pay it off in 3 months. My husband built a pergola over our deck, a small shed, and one year, we found "you haul it away" free river rock on the fb marketplace. We bought a $50 fireplace and made benches from the tree trunk of the tree he removed to build the pergola. Oh, and I made a movie screen from. A white sheet and pvc pipe that we can hang from the eve of our house. We have a used projector we got from a friend. Things can be done inexpensively with some creativity and elbow grease. We even had a hammock between 2 trees with Christmas lights in the trees. Need to remember when sprinklers cube on tho. Lol. Thx for this video. I have a few more ideas now.

I want to congratulate you for giving me, by publishing your ideas, much knowledge if how modern Garden Architecture accommodates patios, fire places and water features nowadays. Its about what I had had in my mind to work out and I feel that my plans are very much enriched by your videos. I have only watched a couple of your videos so I can not say much on your ideas in other parts of a garden design although I have been very keen to the idea that in a considerable small backyard its better not to make paths that form a straight line in order to get the visitors eye to want to wonder to see of what's hidden besides the curves and therefore to make him/her get further into the garden and also when I attempted to do myself, in a DIY manner, my small yards design and gardening planting I wanted to put a feature to give a sence in some parts of the end of the paths as for the visitor not to realise the approximate side of the yard, falsely thinking that it is more extended beyond the feature put at the end. Keep up the good job, mate. I would very much like if you could put a comment with your points on this.

[@kipplockwood1368]

Just a couple thoughts to add to your lovely list; if you live close to your neighbors be thoughtful about where you hang string lights. It can be very invasive if your lights stream through a neighbor’s bedroom window or have the light of a thousand suns blazing over a fence. Also if you use gravel anywhere in your yard, make sure it’s large enough that cats can’t dig in it. That sweet old lady down the street who feeds all the feral cats is enemy #1 when it comes to pea gravel (no pun intended) and sand boxes.

I liked the burn pit and water features. We have a large backyard over an acre. Would like to see transition from backyard to raised bed ideas. Also how to incorporate a play area for horse shoes, corn hole, etc.

That's a great video to build backyard project on a budget. I'm finding professional to design my backyard with a low cost.

Dry creek bed, string lights movie projector and privacy screens resonated with me. Can you add some budget friendly, townhome backyard small pool ideas??

I loved the dry creek bed idea. That will be in my backyard plans. Thank you!

I kind of had a French drain in the making, now I will for sure be doing it since the dry river creek bed is an excellent look as well.
