Small Backyard Ideas (Bigger Isn't Always Better) 

I have a very big yard but love the feel of small purposeful outdoor spaces, I would love to create something like that off of my preexisting deck.

This design is my second favorite of all of your designs!!!! Can't wait to be able to afford your amazing talent to remake my backyard.

Just finished our meeting with Molly one of the design Leads and we are more then stoked with what she has come up with! Can’t wait to meet up Micah!

Nice to see small space designs, especially when its a design to accommodate smaller numbers of people.

I just bought a new build home, and, although it's a 1271 sq ft home on a 6050 sq ft lot, the setback is craaaazy. For some reason they gave me this looooong driveway where I can fit like 5 trucks. It's so annoying. So now I have what appears to be a small backyard and a bigger side yard. I grew up in a home with a traditional large backyard, zero side yard, and now I don't know if I made the wrong chose on homesite. I feel sick. I'm watching this video to get ideas and not feel depressed. Dry wall will go up in about two weeks. I'm a first-time buyer. Why are they building these massive front yards?

We just finished our backyard project. It took 8 months to finish. You helped us survive the wait. Thanks for the great videos! Always looking forward to seeing your new projects and ideas.

I love the backyard transformation shown at 2:45. The grill area is beautiful but all the seating areas make the yard feel much larger.

Nice backyards! Regarding designs/plans. In some places, you may have to get a permit to build, create what you would like to do. Something like that shed for instance. Being able to take it to your planning and Zoning office and show them what you would like to do can eliminate a lot of trouble down the line. And regarding 3D designs, using SketchUp you are able to create 3D plans on your own using stock imagery to guide you through your decision making

You and your team are amazing. Your designers are top notch

Thanks for providing options for smaller yards!

Do you guys work around HOA restrictions when someone does designing with you? We’re across the country from you but are heavily considering your expertise! We live in a neighborhood ruled by HOA though, and it’s been so annoying trying to figure out what we are allowed to do vs what we want to do! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love, love your designs!

I love your ideas and look forward to your videos!

Beautiful space 💙

Love the content and designs. IN this video at 10:11, what are the dimensions of the free standing structure?

I'm thinking a small home on land to add to my backyard as in small space. As the other part of front yard living. Keep the work as videos. Liking the ideas as dreams of space to make

Big fan of your work from Australia. Was excited to read the title but can you go even smaller? Urban Australian backyards are probably 1/4 size of these 'small' yards.

Would be nice to know how much some of these schemes cost ?? Greetings from the U.K.

Just got my new home and I have a unique backyard space I need help with and yes it is an HOA community built by Lennar homes. Not sure what I can do but I kinda know what I want and wondering if you can help me here in Spokane WA. We deal with harsh winters long and dark so this space would be a chance to have a place to ride it out.

What does the process of finding the right city codes and applying for permits look like during the build outs? I can imagine our city being up my butt plus increased insurance rates for a hot tub, new fence, dining pergola, and unattached dwelling apartment. Otherwise, would love to replicate these projects through the 3d models…super cool.

I really want to create a living space outside. Can you show us how to do a small kitchen area on a budget? And when a say on a budget u mean as cheap as possible please but still looks great.

Stupid question, is the completed 3D design project viewed on normal computer software and screen?

How do you work around easements in a small backyard space?

What 3-D program is that?

What do the homeowners do in Portland rain in non-summer seasons? Do they move the dining table under covered area? I am also curious about the cooking area in rain, how do they access in 7-9months of Portland rain?

Hopefully Dexter Williams will use you guys. If he does he's gonna be amazed of what Micah from Paradise restored can do. Dexter you'll be shocked.....

Wow I never use my yard ! It's so much work and lots of money to do . I need to get help . I need to get rid of pooling .

Guau guau a like

Do you do designs

How do we get in touch with you? Where are you based at?

Prices for the backyard designs are from $3k to 7K ( just the 3D design)

None of these yards are in West Texas are they...Jan, Feb, Mar we have 60mph strait winds...🤦‍♀️

How can I get an estimate. I live in Orlando Florida

Hello, If I send you a layout of my backyard could your team design my backyard space?...

I would have a small swimming pool and a sauna too, and would have eliminated the fire pit.

How do I join your group beyond subscription?

My man, exactly what is the prices on these spaces?

Who records a presentation video wearing sunglasses 😂 lol…

so you mean large backyard ideas lol.

Love your ideas but I wish you would look straight into the camera at all times. It looks really awkward when you are staring in a different direction when you are speaking. Unless you are interviewing someone, there's no reason for you to look in another direction than where your viewers are.

Too much hard scape.
