ULTIMATE SMALL BACKYARD MAKEOVER | DIY PATIO | RENTER FRIENDLY

Hey friends! Today’s video is a throwback to our last house. We took a blank slate small backyard and transformed it into an oasis for our family. This renter friendly backyard makeover shows includes a DIY patio, setting up a sun shade sail, a small play area for the kids and more! This is the thing I miss most about this house! Once we moved out, the owners bought the patio pavers from us so it totally worked out. Let me know what you think 💙

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!

[@user-kt6zd2hd6q]

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!

[@joelled7540]

What if you didn’t damage anything you are suppose to get your deposit back. News flash no favors there😵‍💫🤦🏾‍♀️

[@crystalj356]

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

[@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 😊🥰

[@TheRaularya]

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

[@martaalvarado4631]

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

[@1ladyKaryl]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@JN-fy4zt]

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

[@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! ✌️

[@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!!

[@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

[@twilde3754]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@1beachygurl]

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

[@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😢

[@honeyharmon6571]

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

[@angelaalbury986]

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

[@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.

[@Simphome]

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

[@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❤❤❤!!!

[@pixels2u]

Painting the old, rusty chain link fence was brilliant!

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

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

[@aveliaboomershine980]

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

[@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!

[@CFC_44]

You guys would be the greatest tenants of all time!

[@SheMakes31]

Thank you!!

[@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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@angetodac]

very nice. making the house a home for the lil sweet fam.

[@irs902]

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

[@beachgal5062]

Beautiful transformation!!! I bet you, your husband and boys loved this area❤

[@user-xx6hs2qv3s]

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

[@JameyStevenson]

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.

[@marquitashiver6141]

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

[@christinefeucht8668]

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

[@christythefish]

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

[@mmommo-hx4dx]

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

[@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.

[@gennydiaz5699]

Looks so awesome. I remember when you had to move so suddenly. I hope you’re happy in your new home. I enjoy your decorating videos. 😄

[@bethharrelson2585]

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

[@beckybailey5241]

What a cute little oasis! Your family did an amazing job working together to make it an inviting place to spend time. Sorry you didn't have it for very long after all your hard work. What a blessing to the new owners. Do you have any outdoor space where you are now? Thank you for sharing today Natalia.

[@brendabrenda6738]

The kid really wants to help! So cute

[@Smiley-fv8zi]

Sweet yard! The little boy cracked me up!

[@acakes]

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!

[@farmervee_yt]

You did a fantastic job. I'm sure your landlord appreciated you.😊

[@lrussell6668]

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

[@centralgirl]

This was definitely what I was looking for - our rental backyard needs help. Thanks for showing everything step by step!

[@SheMakes31]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 😊

[@nellcrabb5916]

You guys did a great job! You totally renovated the whole yard! Looks fabulous!

[@sunflowereyes73]

You did an amazing job

[@Smiley-fv8zi]

What a sweet family and great job, too!

[@patriciaburdick3800]

How lovely. All your hard work really paid off!

[@MusicandMe1588]

So nice that your Mom and their Grandson are helping your Dad....no need to pay for construction worker😊

[@sarahsmith5998]

You made it beautiful. Hard work pays off!

[@stephroses95]

Sweet!!! Definitely going to try out that barrel post idea thank you!

[@tayssamaghelly]

Excelent job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@geraldinegresham8997]

[@FLbby301]

[@mamastern]

It’s the son running across the pavers with dirty feet right after the rinse down for me….😍

[@SheMakes31]

😆 i’m glad you caught onto that lol

[@mahnazzuberi6081]

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

[@patriciabeller64]

Your landlord must have been thrilled with your hard work!! It really updated the dilapidated space!

[@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.

[@DorsettDoorstep]

This is absolutely amazing and gives me SO many ideas! Can't wait for warmer weather to get started!!

[@SheMakes31]

So glad! Thank you for watching 💜

[@jabjab6156]

You guys did a great job! You remind me of me and my husband. We've always rented and fixed up the places we've lived in. We've done everything from refinishing floors, outdoor landscaping, etc. You name it, we've done it.

[@SheMakes31]

That’s so awesome JoAnn! It’s our home even if it’s for the time being I want to love it

[@deeb1636]

It looks great!!! Well done!!!

[@Mable105]

Surfing thru you tube and found your channel love what you did, how pretty, great job!! Bless you and your family

[@SheMakes31]

Welcome Mable! I’m so happy you stopped by 😊

[@leahbaker1724]

OMG YOU GUYS KEEP DOING ALL THIS HARD WORK JUST TO MOVE. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

[@bmanning603]

Noah is a hard worker! 💪🏼He learns fast⚡️Beautiful!🤩Your whole family works good together. You should be proud of your children!😄

[@tammywojcik9672]

Wow what a transformation!!!

[@SuzieJackson]

Great job! Looks so clean N cozy!

[@blondebobbi4505]

Great home! My suggestion: after removing weeds and tamping it down, spray week killer on the ground and wait till the next day. Then spray bug spray then wait till next day. Then start with all of the other stuff.

[@Billsfangirlforlife]

I always did that even when I lived in an apartment. I would paint one wall as an accent wall, fix up the kids room and enclosed our patio. The landlord loved it so much he wanted me to leave it as I had redone it when I left.

[@SheMakes31]

I’m so glad there are others that do the same as me. It is our home after all where we live! Might as well enjoy it while we’re there 💜

[@k.dailey2379]

These yard ideas are so beautiful and creative...I enjoyed the video and got some great ideas...I have a backyard with alot of dirt and those stones would be a great idea for it...Thank You For Creating This Video💯💯💯👏👏👏💪💪💪

[@tamm3757]

Your kids are so cute...and good job. For renters like you guys that a homeowners would love to have. I would decrease rent for sure, instead of increased. 😍

[@cynsational8700]
