    This is NOT the Average American back yard!! But, the backyard of designers. Really great ideas which is what the whole video was promoting/selling. I especially liked
    the vertical plant walls and sunken aspects. Bring more!

    Idea for you: Landscaping for retired persons.
    Raised garden beds, no tripping hazards, entire backyard is one level, cement paths instead of stepping stones. Seating that is easy to get out of, chairs have arm rests to help push themselves out of a sitting position etc. low maintenance like drip irrigation, perennials.

    Small? Very expensive! How about a real challenge and try a small yard...and a small budget? Now that would be impressive.

    • @daCubanaqt
      @daCubanaqt Před 3 lety +31

      I agree! I appreciate that some of the images were actual small yards, but most were not. I have a truly small yard and was looking for some ideas. If you get creative with sourcing materials (like Craigslist and your local Restore here in the US), some ideas won’t be crazy expensive. I do like his idea of getting a designer. You can get plans made up and then slowly do the work yourself over time if you are handy.

      Hi All! Let's see - In many of our videos there are elements you could grab for smaller space yards. Take the property here: paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/peterson-property/ - they put a dry creek bed in, then added a small bubbler feature as the water element, a trellis over some boulder steps near raised garden beds. They used their existing under-deck as a cover and added décor pieces.
      In this next property: paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/modern-home-landscaping/ like Vonnie G stated, you could create a concrete firepit with a pergola cover and complete it in stages.
      Like more of a garden look? paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/minimalist-garden/ - These features are doable in small spaces - the fireplace wall may not be in some peoples' price range but the other elements would work well.
      In this backyard we stuffed quite a bit in while creating small destination spots along the long bench. It's actually super cool and the view bar & stairs is a favorite. www.paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/small-space-landscaping/
      In the 10 secrets video - choose your favorite:
      #1) DESTINATIONS #2) Covered structure #3) Privacy #4) Water features #5) Fire Features
      #6 Adding a Bar #7 Garden Spaces 8) Built in seating #9) Focal Feature #10) Sunken Areas
      Then decide if you want them in your space. Put them on paper in a design format and decide the size and materials you want. If you need more ideas, they are all over in our portfolio. paradiserestored.com/portfolio/ Some scream expensive to you but each property has elements that can be a created in a smaller/more-cost-effective version.
      As to the Bells & Whistles: Décor items go on sale every June. You can grab many things for 40-75% off.
      We hope this helps - cozy nook backyards have elements individual to You. Thankyou for watching our channel and your honest viewpoints.

      But exactly--a backyard is not a micro patio, is it? These ARE small yards. Micro patios, balconies and terraces are unique in their design challenges, and I hope Paradise Restores considers a video dedicated to it, it's a great idea. For reference I'm a native New Yorker, so I'm used to videos calling 1/4 acre of land a "small space". 🤣

      To reply to the comment form the channel the only place this is considered small is murica. I'm in Canada and we have yards with big space but a yard this big is pretty big in most of our cities. Now in the countryside like us our deck is the size of an apartment but most normal people don't live places where land is cheap

    @bgarrah3886 Před 2 lety +4

    Great video with lots of creative ideas. I just renovated my backyard and I can happily report that I have many of these features checked off the list. But I am excited to figure out a focal point for a piece of art behind a bench which is against the horizontal pressure treated lumber fencing. I am looking for an art piece that includes a mosaic type design using colourful porcelain or old pottery pieces framed out into a rectangle that could be mounted to the wall above the bench. Thanks for all the other ideas as well. Loved the small bar area ideas.

    Although I'm not always comfortable on barstools (I think they are built with tall people in mind), I do think the ideas of putting the bar on the back of the table height seating and the standing bar tables around columns were great space utilizing ideas. Love those pivoting stools on that railing bar too. Last example with the sunken area using a slope was so cozy looking and cool.

We're going to have a bar and use your idea of having a "see through" bar so you can through to the backyard. I also love the various ideas using the planter boxes. I'm working on a new design and haven't figured out where the herbs can go. Bravo to you!

    I love all of this video but utilizing pillars and columns to add bistro style seating for bar space is brilliant. I never thought of looking at things as a destination but it really makes sense that way. Saving this video since it's just loaded with excellent information and ideas. I would do a fire feature over water to conserve water unless it's utilized into the ecosystem for wildlife.

    These are all good options but I wanna circle back to the water features. Good examples but most shown were quite expensive depending on the clients. A very easy and inexpensive option would be to create patio ponds or potted ponds. Here you can create pond ecosystems with plants and fish and still retain that white water noise. Patio ponds also look great side by side to other potted plants.

    Really inspirational ideas. Thanks for providing some unattached cover ideas like at 2:20 in the cover section of this video. So many people want a small covered area but don't want to mess with permitting and the time it takes to get permits as well as the expense of them. It is also perfect for a small backyard like most homes have nowadays.

    I'm just in the middle of designing a patio kitchen/bar for a client, so this was timely and inspiring. Great ideas. I think the privacy is a key element. In urban settings, privacy is the one thing we lack. Any time I can design to add more privacy, that's always good. All the other stuff is great, but without privacy, who wants to be out there? Just my thoughts.

    Every design shown here are fantastic, I guess depending of need, budget and space available the design takes place. Destination, in my opinion, makes it interesting and frequently used. If I have to choose one feature would be the use of screens for privacy and to add interest. Also, creates different areas and opportunity. Thanks!

    • @BackyardDesignGuy
      @BackyardDesignGuy  Před 3 lety

      Good thinking Chelin7023 - you are very astute! Budget, space, and design are so important. And Destinations are more so. We have one small backyard with a long bench across the back that we've separated into different destinations. Seems crazy but it works: www.paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/small-space-landscaping/
      We are also a fan of privacy screens as we all might like our neighbors but we like our privacy better! Thanks again for your positive insightful feedback!

      @BackyardDesignGuy  Před 3 lety +32

      Hi Josephine - guess you are from another country? We've had many say our small backyards are not small - they are huge. Here are some additional ideas.
      Let's see - In many of our videos there are elements you could grab for smaller space yards. Take the property here: paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/peterson-property/ - they put a dry creek bed in, then added a small bubbler feature as the water element, a trellis over some boulder steps near raised garden beds. They used their existing under-deck as a cover and added décor pieces. In this next property: paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/modern-home-landscaping/ lyou could create a concrete firepit with a pergola cover and complete it in stages. Like more of a garden look? paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/minimalist-garden/ - These features are doable in small spaces - the fireplace wall may not be in some peoples' price range but the other elements would work well. In this backyard we stuffed quite a bit in while creating small destination spots along the long bench. It's actually super cool and the view bar & stairs is a favorite. www.paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/small-space-landscaping/ In the 10 secrets video - choose your favorite: #1) DESTINATIONS #2) Covered structure #3) Privacy #4) Water features #5) Fire Features #6 Adding a Bar #7 Garden Spaces 8) Built in seating #9) Focal Feature #10) Sunken Areas Then decide if you want them in your space. Put them on paper in a design format and decide the size and materials you want. If you need more ideas, they are all over in our portfolio. paradiserestored.com/portfolio/ Some scream expensive to you but each property has elements that can be a created in a smaller/more-cost-effective version. We hope this helps - cozy nook backyards have elements individual to You. Thank you for watching our channel and your honest viewpoint.
