ULTIMATE SMALL BACKYARD MAKEOVER | DIY PATIO | RENTER FRIENDLY

[@chandracox6814]

We rented a house the last 7 years and we took care of it like it was our own. Our landlord loved us and we had a great relationship. We just bought a home and close next week! So we're finally moving on to our very own home and I cannot wait.

[@1ladyKaryl]

congratulations on your new home!

[@gwenmargarettowne4687]

I am SO PROUD to see people take pride in their homes especially when it is a rental. The landlord at one of the last rentals that my husband and I lived in returned our deposit and a bonus! Nice work!

[@TheRaularya]

Dad deserves a Medal of Honor!! Way to go dad👍

[@crystalj356]

Where is the double-like button? Kid friendly, cozy and not permanent. Love it.

He’s helping and learning at the same time. Never too young to learn new skills.

[@ms.one-town901]

You made your space a home for you & your babies. It doesn’t matter that it’s a rental, because it’s a safe place to raise your boys. The fact that you still made it such a beautiful space and treated it as if it was your own, says a lot about the person you are. I wish all the tenants I’ve had were more like you. ♥️

[@SheMakes31]

Wow, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words. You put a smile on my face 😊🥰

[@Mwwww79]

Great lesson here: if you want nice stuff and can’t afford (or don’t want) to pay someone to build, you can do it yourself. I hate people who complain they don’t have nice stuff but don’t want to do anything about it. Great job - I love what you did - keep them coming. Cheers

I know this is about the yard but I can really appreciate a barefoot family. ☺️🍃

[@SheMakes31]

Absolutely!!

[@ashton8878]

Not me. Only time I’m barefoot is when I step into the shower.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Well done on selling the pavers to the landlords! That makes me happy. You guys did SUCH a wonderful job. I can't believe how different you made it! I'm so impressed.

[@Simphome]

very cute, you added a children's play area. although not very broad, but it seems fun.

[@SlimshadyVictoria]

You guys are the PERFECT TENANTS!! I,ll bet the owners shed a tear when you left!

[@gladysallen7880]

Right

[@five10queen]

Right!! Upgraded their place. When you leave have them pay you for the materials

[@vm9370]

cause me I rent before, I dont care about the place. Its temporary. I like you make it your own. Awesome tenants.

[@lindaminor1985]

After a few terrible tenant's I just got one who is wonderful. What a stress relief. Good tenant is so appreciated.

[@venice741]

Yep, my tenant leave the outdoor tap on and reported defect, I have to pay for $200 plumber call out fee to shut the tap.

[@pixels2u]

Painting the old, rusty chain link fence was brilliant!

[@nolidcreations]

So beautiful and inspiring ✨️ Thank you for sharing...Blessings Always 💜

[@katie6243]

I'm so intimidated by our seemingly unmanageable back yard, but all of these projects look doable for me and made such a big impact. I'm inspired!!!

[@chandracox6814]

Take on small projects over time and it won't seem so unmanageable. Do a little every day, even ten minutes worth of weeding or cleaning up will make a huge difference over time. Set a timer on your phone for ten or fifteen minutes and when it's done, either stop or keep going if you're up to it. Not only will it motivate you but it will also give you extra serotonin from touching the dirt. Yes, playing around in dirt (weeding, planting, etc.) gives that boost we all love and need. Being in the sun does too! So that's aj added bonus. Just don't forget your sunscreen! ✌️

[@bigcitymao4657]

Why can’t I find a tenant like you 😩😩🙌💯great job

[@ladyandrews9371]

I have had a plain back yard for the past seven years and you have really motivated me to create a simple space, thanks for the tips

[@CFC_44]

You guys would be the greatest tenants of all time!

[@SheMakes31]

Thank you!!

[@JN-fy4zt]

Your family did a terrific job as first timers. I too did thus in 2001 and the only thing left for the concrete team to do was rear and pour concrete. So, I know how you each rested after this. Kudos❤❤❤!!!

[@honeyharmon6571]

Both yard makeovers turned out really nice. Your landlords must love you people. 🤭

[@twilde3754]

Lovely! You guys are the manifestation of the saying "where there's a will there's a way!" Fabulous!

[@mr.h5564]

As a father who misses years past with the kids when they were lil ones...I LOVE the scenes when your lil one was helping out. So adorable.....memories😢

[@jozejeaux3962]

This is THE best and most cost effective yard makeover I've seen. I had to watch it again!

[@SheMakes31]

Thank you so much!!

[@1beachygurl]

Love the concrete planter idea to be a movable post. Genius!

[@aveliaboomershine980]

We did this kind of project on our backyard. All clearance items, our land lady (our grandma) was extremely happy!

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

I love these type of videos...from nothing to glamorous! Nice job!!!

[@FLbby301]

Omg beautiful mango tree!

[@nicksearles3996]

I grew up in rentals and my mom always made the house feel like our own. Good job, I hope you guys get to buy a place it would turn out amazing!

[@JN-fy4zt]

...the owners should reimburse you guys. That's an addition to the home.

[@sheilabrown5367]

We had fencing done for privacy landlord did no reimbursement what a shame

[@snailandfox9983]

@@sheilabrown5367this is why you have to,agree with the landlord beforehand, if not they are not going to reimburse nothing

[@sheilabrown5367]

@snailandfox9983 Yes so truth!

[@maryharris8649]

That's right

[@4shore325]

Wow, great job! Looks very inviting. Pat yourselves on the back.

[@Prospermiinow]

Truly Marvelous!!!! Thank you for making something that feels impossible to me, possible. I am truly encouraged. Thank you for taking the time to make and share a wealth of information through this video. Peace, Joy, Prosperity and Perfect-Health to you and your family.

[@judithmcbride4023]

You did such an AWESOME job!! So Cozy and Inviting!! You should be very proud of yourselves!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@christythefish]

I love seeing you all create this family space together. It’s wonderful! Enjoy yourself!❤

[@BarbFichman]

So proud of your boy, look at him helping !!

[@KajunMs39]

Welcome summer projects for 2023!! Out of all the economical ways of redoing a backyard, on KZbin, yours is the best by far!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏😊☺️

[@SheMakes31]

Wow, thanks!

[@sylviaby9174]

It sure turned out nice. It looks like very tropical Florida.

[@melodyferguson2036]

Y'all are such hard workers! I am sad that you didn't get to enjoy all of your hard work, but when my husband was watching this and the front yard makeover with me, he said...I really hate it that they are spending so much money on the yard since it is a rent house! We have, however, done a lot of painting and work on places we have rented just because I didn't want to live there unless we did! :) I believe you will have a backyard someday soon for you to enjoy! God will bless you back for all that you did! It's all beautiful! And you have a gift to make everything so pretty working with what you have!

[@shellybulwer-mcgill7897]

Awesome, you guys are teaching your boys also🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@1ladyKaryl]

Great job! I especially liked the kids helping in the way they could. the baby with the little shovel was adorable.

[@Marie-D.]

This is truly a labor of love. I also live in South Florida, and this is just so important to our way of life, however, it is not an easy task. You guys did an awesome job. Everything looks so beautiful. Congrats on a job well done.

[@daisymay4183]

Wow that's taking pride in where you live even you rent. The owners are very appreciated to your labor of love project. I would miss this tranquil hideaway.

[@bethharrelson2585]

I absolutely love the transformation. A great labor of love.

[@christinefeucht8668]

Great job. It warmed my heart to see Noah helping. What a trouper!

[@irs902]

Wow!!! I so love to see everyday people do amazing DYI projects

[@elizabethbatten8514]

Wow, fantastic job, guys! I love how you came up with so many great ideas for those of us with not much money who don't want to hire a contractor or act like one! I will definitely use the posts in a bucket idea!!

[@angetodac]

[@blessedalesha]

Stunning! What a transformation! And without spending thousands and thousands of dollars!! So elegant and beautiful! I’m obsessed and so sorry it was so short lived.

[@marquitashiver6141]

Shoot leveling the ground is a lot of work and it looks like it is. Y'all did a great job!

[@patriciaburdick3800]

How lovely. All your hard work really paid off!

[@lrussell6668]

That’s an amazing job. It’s definitely a good thing for the owner because he /she had a complete makeover.

[@susanwalline993]

You took a dreary space, and turned it into a workable, enjoyable, beautiful place! How lovely for your children, too! The ambience is palpable. I love it!

[@mmommo-hx4dx]

How happy is that little boy....seeing his parents peaceful.....so sweet!

Thankyou so much. My backyard is alot bigger but this has inspired me to make a start with what I have already. Thankyou again.

[@deniseiml]

What a GORGEOUS job you all did! So impressive and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your video.❤

[@FR-tb7xh]

Lovely project! And A+ on the transformation! Your work really brought out how beautiful your trees were, too! Re the patio stones, it’s important that water always flow away from the house. If it does prove to be a problem, the landlord can always just go back and regrade because your stones were dry laid.

[@aurim6601]

It looks great. Thank you soooo much for sharing.

[@VikkiG1970]

Looks great...well.done...

[@shirleymchellon3264]

Go for it!

Hard work pays off...good stuff to see and enjoy, it's your home 🏡

I love that fact you don't have hundreds of tools to level out the ground. I cannot dare to start with my backyard after watching professionals or super handy people. Love your kids helping you out too!

[@juliadavis3607]

I been looking for a way to fix my back porch. You given me so many good ideas. I'm live on a tight budget and I can buy some things like putting down concrete tiles on the ground.

What a make-over! So smart to paint the fence!

[@karenhecks211]

Did a beautiful job. It's always hard work but so worth it.

[@angelaalbury986]

Love the idea of using tarp instead of landscape cloth. The landscape cloth really doesn't stop weed growth!
