I love my dining table under my structure. Living in the tropics we get heavy rain as well as extreme heat during the day. The structure allows us to enjoy the outdoors in all weather.
I totally understand. Others have said something similar... I do agree that with those conditions enjoy the cover with Dinning or any other way.... My focus is on enjoying the space with those u care about and it sounds like u have that very much "covered" 😉. Thank u for watching and for commenting
I was pretty skeptical about this video at first, it’s so easy to Monday morning quarterback on anything.
However there are some pretty good tips throughout this video and I found it to be very informative and helpful.
I like the idea of moving away from the house and creating destinations as well as not limiting a covered structure to one thing like hot tub or table.
The reason the dinning area is under the gazebo is because of mosquito’s. I keep seeing these designs and none are functional. I spray the yard but still from May to end of July there are just too many bugs to eat in an unscreened area.
Well said! We just completed a design with an amazing screened in porch with dining area, I'll try to show it off soon. Thanks for the Comment Pat
Avon Skin-So-Soft! Mosquitoes 🦟 hate it!!!
LOL
Have you thought about making a small bat house? It’ll greatly reduce your mosquito problem.
yes, I have a video on it too :)
What happens when people don't have those type of budgets.
Stay away from bad garden designs, which aim on cramming lots of building, appliances, indoor features into open space. It not only destroys nature, with hardscapes, building, plastic carpet lawns, it also bloats spending for questionable benefits. The good old mobile BBQ, garden furniture, inflatable pool had the same benefits, at a fraction of the cost. I don't need to keep up with anybody to enjoy my garden.
I just started watching! I’m an interior designer but my mom was a master gardener and I have a black thumb! Interiors and 3-D are my strengths, but I’m honestly so intimidated thinking about going outside, especially thinking about plants!!!
We bought a mid-century house and the large backyard has so many Different things we’ve inherited. It’s got so much potential, and we want to use it, but it’s pretty overwhelming looking at what’s there and how to make something cohesive that will work for us.
I know I can come up with a good plan, but I am doing lots of research. Your videos have helped a lot. I have already measured and drawn out the yard, now we need to discuss as a family what we want, (I have a history of just doing what I want 😂 as a designer- my poor husband is in tech but started in graphic design!)
I will focus on creating rooms, and then work up the courage to think about plants (I can hopefully not kill)!
I’m in South Seattle, WA, lots of rain.
Hi Marianne, you are on the right track. I think you will Design an amazing Backyard Living Space. I would be happy to have a 1 on 1 meeting at the end of your design process just to make sure you have it all right. That way you can move forward with total confidence that you are not missing anything. I am in Portland Or so I can relate to the rain :) . Have the best weekend.
Hi Micah,
I discovered you and your team just about 45 days ago!! I LOVE that you promote outdoor living & want to avoid future mistakes. NEED YOU & YOUR DESIGN Team to create those destinations throughout the backyard in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Your creativity for that 3D design is requested ! Help us to see the covered structure, kitchen/bar & fire pit!! I'd love to hear from you in Brew city!!
Hello Synwill2012. I am 100% committed to helping you out. Yes, lets get the Design done and YES I would LOVE to visit Brew City. www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process Fill out the form and lets get moving on the Design. Feel free to reach out to me if you need ANYTHING at all micah@paradiserestored.com
Been watching your videos for years. Finally just signed up for an appointment. Really enjoy the content and hope you guys can help make my yard great.
I can help FOR SURE!!! I can't wait to meet u
How did it go?
0:57 is a good example for a semi-green hardscape, to use for party, BBQ, garden office, if lawn is too stressed by such usage. Much better than tiles, needs no cleaning and washing, only occassional mowing/trimming of vegetation. Otherwise, here's way too much stuff that doesn't belong in a garden (TV!). Keep indoors what belongs indoors, keep garden items mobile, so you can place them elsewhere if you find one place inappropriate. A garden isn't designed once and for all, but grows. Plants, obviously, but also usage and garten utitilies. Call it "agile garden development" like with software, where "agile development" replaced failure-prone, entirely pre-engineered projects, which left no space for later changes.
Hello, I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a flat backyard and I don't have a clue what to do with it. I have recently had a couple of large pine trees cut to open up the space. Now I have no clue. "I need help." Thanks for sharing!🥰❤
I'm very happy to help Marcella. Do either of these sound like a good fit for you?

Hi Micah! I’m from Windsor Ontario Canada. We have recently had to remove an old deck after our house was sprayed by a skunk. We now have a huge unusable area in our backyard. My son used to go through the patio doors to get to our little above ground pool but I’m not even sure we can set that up this year. I love your videos. They are very inspiring and I’m learning a lot. Thanks for reading!
Hi Julia, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I am so sorry about the Skunk incident. I would really like to help you with you space. I will be putting a call out to people in Cold Climates soon as I would love to help people design amazing spaces that they can use 4 seasons in colder climates. I have many from Canada watching and I would love to help create better Cold Climate Ideas for Canadians as well as many others in Colder Climates throughout the world. If this sounds like something you would be interested in I would be happy to provide a discount on my 3D Design service. Please reach out to me via email micah@paradiserestored.com and mention in the Subject about "Cold Climate Design Help". Thank you so much again.
Very informative and good suggestions. Thank you 👍
No problem
I just found you! I need to watch your videos over and over and over until it sinks in, ( says the one with the gazebo over the hot tub) I'm so impressed with your knowledge and advice! Finally! someone that goes beyond which fertilizer to use. (At least with that if you get it wrong you can still easily correct it, unlike design). I'm in the Greater Toronto area. I doubt you're coming up this way, but hey keep making those videos.
Hi Lynn, I can totally help and I would love to fly to Toronto. In fact I had two separate Zoom meetings today with people from Toronto (u might being seeing them soon on a RUclips video). Let me know how I can help? 1 on 1 or 3D Design? Happy to help in any way possible. Thank u for watching. I hope we can work together.... I would truly LOVE to visit Toronto.
Good evening, Micah. I am from Houston, Texas and my husband and I just bought a home in Orange, Texas, which is 112 miles east of Houston.
The home sits on .67 acres and we are in desperate need of a 3-D design to help us move into a phase of OUTDOOR LIVING!
This is the primary reason we moved out of the busy city - to have enough yard to live peacefully and elegantly outdoors.
Please help us - we close on the home next week, but there are lots of pictures online of this property. Thank you!
Toyloria, I want to help you. I will be in Dallas and Austin in July and I would love to come visit you. We can start the 3D Design prior to my visit but I would love to see it in person and then come back to celebrate the completion. Email me at Micah@paradiserestored.com or book an appointment here www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process - please email me either way so I can make sure I am on the zoom call. Thank u 🙏
Thanks for such great info just from this video.
You got it Marnie! Thank u for the support ❤
Love love your channel Micah!
Considering moving from Beaverton to Tennessee or Texas next year and getting future design ideas for backyard outdoor living!
I don’t want the be one who makes mistakes but want to do it right the first time!
Hi Sharleen, thank you so much for this comment. I am definitely here for you wherever you move. Please remember us as great Backyard Designers no matter where u live 🤪. Have a great day.
Great & Informative. We just bought a house on .27 acres & are having a hard time figuring out the yard space & privacy, all the while wanting an amazing outdoor space! Yes we need help in our design & live in Bastrop Tx near Austin Tx. Thank you in advance! I will be reviewing your links soon too!
I would love to help - please book an appointment 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Thanks for the tips!
You got it 😁
Hi Micah, I’ve really enjoyed your videos and hope you can offer some direction. You’re correct in that every Landscape Designer we’ve had out here has only discussed plant design with vague references to patio over here or place a table over there. We live on top of a hill and the backyard is just a deck and is very windy. Umbrellas and chairs blow around plus the gas BBQ doesn’t work in such high winds. So, our plan is to utilize the front yard as our primary outdoor living space. We live on a private single lane road so there’s very little traffic. However, my dilemma is how do we make the front yard look appealing and inviting while not obstructing views from inside our home. We live in Southern California in Temecula CA. Thanks for your help!
Hi Tiffany, Can u email me so we can connect Micah@paradiserestored.com. i am excited about this design dilemma 😁
Hi Micah been following you since 2019... watching from Florida. My backyard is still in a blank slate . Hoping one day I can get an awesome design from you that is cost effective .
Thank you .
Hi Mary, thanks you. I'm here for u whenever your ready. Thanks for watching...
Recently had work done in the backyard. We had a 2-tiered deck that needed some love. So we had the upper level re-surfaced in trex, and the lower level demoed/replaced with a cobblestone stamped patio in the same footprint. I can see things I want but can’t seem to put out all together to go from there.
Be careful Kyle. I meet with people everyday and help them navigate through exactly what your facing. Many people wait and it’s to late. Just schedule a meeting with me or have us do the Design. I promise it will save u money in the end. 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process

You are doing a wonderful thing, I watch your videos, I can’t afford you but I am inspired by you hopefully my little diy projects will work out!
Thank you Karen, I truly appreciate your support. Have a great weekend.
Great tips and advice - thank you, Micah!
I was just a little surprised by your advice to put a dining table outside a backyard structure...We live in a 100F+ California summer zone, and, honestly, there is NO dining without a solid shade. Actually, it is really quite hard to enjoy your backyard in such a heat, anyways.
Q: What would be your advice for a backyard enjoyment design for such extreme heat? Thanks!
Probably use the structure for a lounge area and put the dining area outside with a big umbrella! 😊 but honestly if you like your dining area inside a structure, go for it! I’ve seen a lot of structures with a dining area in it and it looked absolutely gorgeous! If you like it and it makes you have dinners there more often because of it, you should leave it like that.
I’ve seen the solid roof over the lounge area and the dining area with an arbor/slatted roof and vines or shade sail and that looks great.
Hey M! It’s B! Empty nesters here- just moved into a home we’re remodeling that’s on 5+ acres in Fort Worth, Texas. I’m a city girl, and have no clue where to start. Husband is pure country and is happy on a tractor and a horse. :) (He’s happy with just about anything I do, as long as I don’t tear up his front pasture or mess with his barn lol)
SO- I’ve been thinking about tons of ideas on our home remodel, but each night when we sit out on the deck, my hubby and I only talk about the vast space around our home and how much we love being outside. So now I’m rethinking where I want to spend our money, and what is most important with regard to the home vs outdoors… I’m a newby to your channel but I appreciated your genuineness and valued your idea of a 3D living space design vs just a 2D landscaping approach. I’d be very interested in getting your thoughts on a design for our property.
Please let me Design your space! It sounds like a dream canvas to prepare the perfect space for u and your hubby and your future cowboy/city girl kiddos. Here is our process
www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process . I hope it works for u. Email me if u have any questions about how to get started Micah@paradiserestored.com
Thank you for all of the tips!
We have a backyard space that’s long and narrow with an L shape. I’m thinking about joining your new course to find out how to DIY our backyard layout. We love taking on projects and seeing the results of our hard work.
Does the course offer the 3D design step by step for DIY’rs?
Thank you!
These are some great tips! My wife and I just bought our first home in Haymarket VA. Would love to see your ideas for our backyard.
Hi Nathan, I would love to help our. Would the 3d Design work for you? www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Or maybe a 1 on 1 with Micah (me) www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching . Congratulations on your new home 👌😊
We have a completely blank slate. We don’t even have stairs to get out ours sliding glass door yet.
Lol. Yep, sounds like a perfect canvas! I'm in..... what can I do to help? Hopefully we can get started on the Design or the 1 on 1? Let me know? Have a wonderful day
Hey Micha, love all your videos, been watching for awhile. My wife and I live in Georgetown, TX (right outside of Austin) and are preparing to move to a brand new house (still in Georgetown) within the next couple months. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how we want to design our backyard and layout it out for optimal hosting/parties but also to give us some privacy from the neighbors. I have a lot of thoughts/ideas but not really sure how to make it a reality, would love to connect and get some insight and potentially a 3D design. Thanks.
Hi Josh, first off thank you for watching our videos and supporting us....that means a lot. I would LOVE to help you with your new home. I would be happy to chat with you but I would for sure recommend us doing a 3D Design for you. Here are both links www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process - www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching Please let me know which one sounds the best for you? Have a great day. Thank you again.
We need help! We live in Whittier CA and have been wanting to make our backyard an outdoor living/entertainment space for years but just don’t know what to do with the space. We have a ranch style house - long, somewhat narrow backyard. We love your work! So interested in finally getting it all done with your help! Thank you ~ Cecilia
Hi Cecilia, thank you for reaching out. I want to let you know that I will make sure you do your Outdoor Living/Entertainment space correctly. I love the ranch style home and even with the narrow backyard I think you will be surprised with how cool the space can be. I feel like the next step is 3D Design unless you feel like you would prefer a 1 on 1 meeting first? Here is the 3D Design link. Feel free to schedule a no obligation meeting and we can go from there. Have an amazing day www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Great advice!!!
Thank you Helen. Have the best day!
We need help...oh boy. Northeast of Boston Massachusetts. At least with design because we have to go in stages. The project in the next couple of months is the indoor kitchen. So maybe a stage of the backyard the summer. Something we can build upon. We replaced one of the decks a few years ago. It's the space between the house and the barn
I wanna help Taunya 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process I’m looking forward to meeting you
I need help , we are in the middle of choosing what we want. We are in Houston TX. This video really spoke to me and I just shared it with my husband. We want it to be attached it I also want a living space outside. Like you said I had the old mind sit to have everything all close together but not sure how to space it out.
Hi Angela, I want to help. Please either have a quick call with me or let me do a Design for u. Please email me at Micah@paradiserestored.com if u are interested. Its totally no obligation.
Hey there Micah… I’ve been watching and getting inspired by your videos for the past 6 months now. Moved from Fresno, California to New Bern, North Carolina 3 months ago. My wife and I Definitely could use your creative mind and expertise to help design our blank canvas backyard out here. It’s a whole new world for us. Hope you find a way to come say hey! Tom
Hi Tom, congrats on the move. Thanks for watching too. I am here for u and would love to help either design your space or have a 1 on 1. I would also love to visit after the project gets underway to answer any questions and see the space in person. I hope it works out where we can create the transformation together. Have an amazing weekend
@@BackyardDesignGuy do I just buy you a plane ticket and put up in a nice hotel for a weekend? How do we make this type of interaction happen?
Hi Hector, most of my clients just reimburse me for the plane ticket and hotel. If you are serious please email me and I will find a time that works for where I can fly over. micah@paradiserestored.com. I hope it works out and I cant wait to show off your backyard transformation. Have a wonderful weekend.
You peaked my interest. Yes, I need help. I am 30 miles NW of Chicago. What do you charge for a 3D design? Challenges: big deck, most of big back yard is over septic, summer mosquitos, balancing privacy with need to have site lines to property borders for safety from wildlife (coyotes, skunks, racoons, oposdums) who don't cohabitate well with my dogs.
Love watching these videos. How far out are you booking to do a yard design? My backyard is being redone and I'm hesitant without a plan
You should be! Please be extremely cautious. We are usually 6 weeks for a Design. I could help with a 1 on 1 meeting. At least that way u will know you're not going in a wrong direction. Let me know if u can think of another way for me to help Kristi. Enjoy the weekend
I need help. Long Island New York. We had a paver patio installed last year but we missed the mark. Our hot tub is set to be delivered early June. I’d like to add a detachment structure for shade but don’t want to make any more mistakes. I think the 1 on 1 meeting can be helpful.
Hi Jarrett, YES for sure. Get the 1 on 1 meeting. I will make sure everything is correct.... I am SO DONE with people having to redo things. I promise this 1 on 1 time will be worth it (probably at least 10 fold). 1 on 1 with Micah (me) www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching . I hope it sounds like a good plan for u moving forward. Have a nice night.
We are near Duncan Oklahoma
We bought a beautiful place and love being outside. The back yard is huge and we are trying to figure out how to make the space(s) flow.
I would LOVE to Design the space for u. Let me know if it sounds like a good fit? Thank u
Hi, thanks for your ideas. We need a design but know it will be expensive and are giving ourselves some time to save up....maybe a year. Should we wait or do you think we can start with ideas at this time. We are in Menifee, CA. Thanks, again.
Awsome video! I'm looking to do my backyard over...i need help! I have some idea's but i bet yours are better
Yes! I will make sure to kill it for you Angelo. Book an appointment and let's chat. Thank u
Yes PLEASE come to Florida... Tampa/Lakeland area. I can't find anything or good ideas to design around pool cages. We need some inspiration!!!!!!
Sounds good Sta Ha. Let's start with the 3D Design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Hey, I’m in North Carolina. I am wanting to turn our small backyard into a beautiful living space that has to have privacy. I watch your videos all the time and get overwhelmed when I have to know where everything should be placed. Oh and I’m working on a budget. I have retired working in the school system and just want a nice functional back yard…Thanks!
You might want to try my design course if you are on a budget www.backyardlivingguyde.com/
I would love to consult and get 3d design. I know I have a Lot of mistakes, Like a hot tub under a gazebo. at this point I can’t move it but I want to add an outdoor kitchen to my space and I’m debating on if I should add another gazebo to my backyard. so having a one on one would be great.
Hi Micah,
Great job on videos and guide on Do and Don’ts! Very important. We are in SD. Its not a big yard, but has potential to do a few things. Plus, we have a big hill. What is the best way to connect with you about the design and what would you need from us (pictures, video)? And how much 3D design would cost?
Thank you.
Max
Here in Colorado. I bought a home with a first generation composite deck (that needs to be upgraded/updated due to waves in the decking from various joist seemingly still settling), that overlooks a small koi pond as the house is situated on hill. I'm considering to take the decking out beside where the outdoor kitchen and fireplace are placed and go with concrete and reinstall the pergola 10x20. Should I stay with decking or concrete?
Hi, my husband and I are planning on hiring a contractor to build us a patio. I didn't know to start with a design. Thank you for making this video!.I will ask for a 3D design.
No problem. I can help with the 3D Design if your contractor does not offer it... I would LOVE to be apart of the project. Have a great day
Hello, In central Kentucky and 3 yrs. homeowner and bought my home with a blank slate of no landscaping which I was glad so I had no work to remove someone else mistakes. So I love to do landscaping design but I am not an expert as yourself and need help to make my imagination come to life to enjoy.
I would love to Design the space for you Crystal www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
I just found your video and sooo glad I did. I NEED HELP from Boston Mass!

Love all your videos! We're located in PA and we're struggling with how to transform our small backyard and existing paver patio into a welcoming paradise. Our biggest challenge is whether to keep our existing (2 steps down to it) paver patio OR to create a walk out deck from the home, THEN steps down into the yard. We think we understand the pros and cons of each but it's hard to decide. We also want a covered structure but are worried about it blocking light into our kitchen. We know a backyard designer will help with these choices. Can you assist?
Yes, for sure! Here is our Design process www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process. If this works for you just book and appointment at this link
@@BackyardDesignGuy sounds good. I had seen some of your replies that mention a 1 on 1. Is that a 1 on 1 via video call, or in person? If the former is an option, how would that work? Thanks!
It would be a 1 on 1 meeting via Zoom. Once you purchase the Coaching time you will have the ability to upload photo's and video to the Coaching Interface. I will review them prior to our meeting and be ready for when we jump on the zoom call together. I have help ton's of people with the method and I am confident I can help you www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching I hope it works for you. Have a great day
Hey Micah! I’m in Atlanta Georgia. I have a new house and my backyard is on a slope. Please help.
I'll be there this Year. Congratulations on the new house. Would a quick zoom meeting get u started or is it a blank slate where a 3D design would be best? Thanks Cynthia hope to help u out this season
@@BackyardDesignGuy Hey I'm in central Georgia and I could use a designer too. Blank slate here
Hi Ben, I would love to visit. It would be a good idea to start with the 3D Design. Does that sound like a good start for you? www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
We are moving to Reno, Nevada in September. Would love to find out more about your service to help us design our backyard.
Congratulations on the move! Here is the 3D Design info www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process hope it sounds like a good fit

We live in Northwest Florida Panhandle. Our outdoor structure has one section for the dining and one foe living. We literally live out there 90% of our spring summer and fall. My brother in law is a landscaper and gifted us a beautiful fire pit area in another section of our yard that we love.
I love this comment! I'm so happy that u love your backyard space. Enjoy the outdoor season.
Hi Michah! I just stumbled on your channel and my yard is in need of a makeover. I live in NJ. We have a pool with a cement patio around it and paver patio area where the hot tub is. And a small grass area on the side of the house. My pool takes up the length of the home (leaving a small walking area around the length of the pool with potential destination areas on either side (one of those sides does have a huge walk in shed, which is filled with lawn and pool equipment). We would love a covered area to spend time outside, rain or shine off of our sliding glass doors which eventually will become french doors and a fire pit area to entice our older boys to spend more time outdoors. The only green in our yard is the grass, a rose bush and some potted hydrangeas lol. What is your fee for coming out to take a look? And are you in still in NJ now🤞
Hello, when I am in NJ (end of June) I will just stop by...no charge. Although we would need to moving on the 3D design asap. Here are the details www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process click the link and lets schedule a call for the 3D design. Thank you...looking forward to meeting you and the transformation. Have a wonderful weekend.
What to do with your space under a deck? We’re on a sloped lot. Main floor walks out to the deck area. Walkout basement walks out to empty space under the deck. Thanks in advance.
Hi Micah, Love your videos! We are in Austin, TX and in your video you say you are coming here soon. How would one get in touch to see if we can be added to one of your stops? We are just starting the process of getting a design for our backyard and could use your expertise and vision. We don't want to make any mistakes!
Hi Lisa, Yes I would love to stop in and see the project when I am there. It would be best to start with the 3D Design now. Here is the link to fill out to have a meeting to discuss it more. I hope it works out? Have a wonderful day www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Howdy Micah! I’m in Spring Branch, TX (just north of San Antonio). Kinda stuck in the planning stage on how to best use a decent amount of space. At this point probably looking to actually start work next spring. Was originally planning to expand patio but watching your videos really made me realize I didn’t have any type of cohesive plan with flow. Would love to have you design a space!
I'm in Nick! I'm excited to help. Here is our process www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process . Just click the link and book an appointment right to our calendar. Have the best day
I live in Boerne so we are close. I really like Micah's designs but wonder if our weather here warrants such a large expenditure of money. Can you give me your thoughts on it? Craig
Yes, it warrants it. You wont be disappointed with our 3D Design. We work in many different climates from super cold winters in Canada to super hot in tropical areas like Hawaii, Flordia, Texas ect. Bring on a challenge.
This is an amazing video that I didn't known I needed to see. I came on looking for privacy shades for my porch and learned a lot more from you. I fell in love with the space design at 6:45 is there a video on that? If not is there anywhere I can see more pictures of it?

@@jonnie9606 What?
Hi Mon Ahamad. Thank you for liking our stuff. Here is the video on that transformation ruclips.net/video/nboBA5dSMnI/видео.html
Hi i am in Dubai, I have two questions I wish your will address on what items should we splurge and what should we not. And another question my landscaper has suggested we use crazy pattern stones for my hardscape, how can I judge that the stone is a good quality stone or not?
I am currently helping another client from Dubai and I would love to visit there. I think I could help answer your questions with a quick zoom meeting. Clint the link below to schedule that. Once the project kicks off I wanna come see u in person if possible?? CANT WAIT
I know I can't afford you Micah! I can't afford hard scape either. But I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin & have a backyard with 3 big dogs. I am going to try to make my concrete patio 2 &1/2 times bigger cause my dogs leave a mud path & divots all over my shadey yard. I can't wait to see what you do for others!!!
I totally understand Bethany. Thanks for watching and supporting. Have an amazing weekend
What a great video Micah! You've shifted my perspective on this. Btw, I have no outdoor space, but I'm ever hopeful 😆🥰❤
Yay! So happy. Please reach out if I can help with your future Backyard. Thank u again
Hi Micah! I am in the middle of a backyard renovation and am second guessing the design. I am in Atlanta.
Oh no, how far have u gotten? I would love to take a look and make sure you have things layed out correctly. Any chance u would be open for a 1 on 1 Meeting with Micah (me)? www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching
Good day. I just came across your channel, and it is awesome and very informative. I just bought a house, and the backyard is a blank canvas. Roughly 20x60ft. I have many ideas but don't know what would be best, practical, and affordable. Your builds look amazing and I would appreciate some assistance/advice. My budget is in flux. Your builds also look super expensive. Is there a ballpark cost for a medium-sized outdoor space? am in Port Orchard, WA, just outside Seattle. Thank you, and have a nice day.
If you book a free zoom meeting I could take a look and let u know what the cost would be - 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process. I am in Oregon so I have a clear understanding of the NW.
Hi Micha:
I need help 😆. We live in Fairburn, GA. I got a sloping hillside in my yard and a large french drain going around the back of the property. Just need to know what I can do. We already have a large covered deck on the home.
I'm in to help. Do u feel the 3D Design or the 1 on 1 would be best for u? I look forward to working with u.
Hello Micah, I also stumble across your video Stop with the mistakes. Decorating could be overwhelming at times, looking at the all the over clutter decorations. Your video made since to my Eye 👁 Lens. I see it’s not too late ⏰. You going to be in ATX in July? Is it Possible to get added to the list? Thanks Madison
Yes Willie, I'd be happy to stop by. If possible can we start with a 3D Design? www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Love your videos. We just purchased a home in Queens, NY and would love your help with design :)
Thank u Isabel 🫶 I would love to help
Hey! Really enjoy your videos. I'm in Southern Illinois just east of St Louis, MO. I'm wanting to put a court yard in my front yard. Help!
Easy. We can design your courtyard in 3D and go from there. . here is our process www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process. Looking forward to meeting u and working with u. Have a great weekend
Great video....
Great Video!
Thank u 🤗
We need help - we're located in Lexington, KY. We've got a very piecemeal outdoor layout with an addition and deck that were both poorly planned. The deck had a tree growing up through it that we recently had removed, and the deck itself is not very well laid out, and just keeps collecting clutter. We never actually use it for enjoying the outside. The addition we love on the interior (and are not removing) but then it creates a very odd division of space in the backyard that needs more flow.
I would love to help Abigail. I think 3D Design option would be best for your project www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
I'm in Dunedin, FL and I'm struggling with a huge backyard (a lot and a half) and a small 1930's house and over-inflated housing values. How to build the oasis I want on a budget that, of course has all the elements I want, can possibly be built in phases to stay on budget, and then of course where to spend money and where to save -- what items should you invest in and what should you bargain shop or repurpose instead to keep costs low? Do you create the oasis and then the budget or state the budget and then build the oasis? The struggle is real (and yes, I've already wasted money last spring and it was great for a season but it's back to the drawing board. Ugh.
Great question - I have found that it’s best to create the dream master plan. I know this may seem counterintuitive, but it’s best to design the complete space with the dream vision - after u complete the dream master plan you will have a place to start to implement in phases. The nice thing is that when u have the master plan you can make material selection decisions that will keep the budget where needed but not ruin the integrity of the overall design. Schedule a free appointment with me and I’ll help out : 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Hello! Been watching your videos for a while attempting to get some ideas. We are located on Long Island, NY. We would enjoy to see your ideas for our yard.
I would be happy to help. Most likely the 3D Design process would be the best place to start www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
My husband & I live in Sacramento, California. We really enjoy watching your videos. We have 2 border collies. We need help with what to make our backyard landscaping dog friendly.
No problem. Here is our 3D Design process. Looking forward for helping hours Border Collie's and you guys with a beautiful new space www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Hi Micah! What an excellent presentation. You have definitely convinced me about the importance of good design. If you are ever in the neighborhood or wish to test your skills on a REAL challenge, please come by our house! We have a small yard complicated by a septic tank and a large storage shed from a previous owner. We would like to enjoy some outdoor space but have no idea where to begin. Move the septic to the front yard? Remove the shed? We have some large lovely oak tree's with nice shade in the front. A porch would be nice if we could find some way to screen the neighbors driveway and vehicles. We are recent transplants to this charming historic town - Tarpon Springs, Florida. It is home to one of the largest Greek communities in the USA, with a working "sponge dock" where fisherman/spongers still go out and harvest sponges. There are many excellent Greek restaurants along the sponge docks, and shops that sell soaps and sponges, clothing, olive oils, Hella's Bakery and many other wonderful things. You will love it!
Good one dude!🤜🏻
Thank u! I'm loving helping people with their Backyard Life ❤
Oohhh boy do we need help! We're in Murray City (a division of Salt Lake City), Utah. With two mid size dogs and my being disabled, it's a near impossible feat
Hi! Happy to found you! I’m watching from Spain and need your help over the distance. Maybe by sending photos or videos as a base for a 3D Plan?
Hi Ursula, im in! I just responded on the other comment you left. Im here for you and yes we can walk though how to send what we need in with our 3D Design Service and or 1 on 1 meeting. Have the best day!
I really need help with my backyard. First time home buyer and have NO IDEA what to do with my plain outdoor space. It’s a nice sized pie shaped lot facing a park (not lots of privacy though). I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and we have around 5-6 months of cold weather but I see lots of potential to enjoy the outdoors even though it’s kind of cold outside. I would LOVE your ideas and inputs on what to do, please!!
It would be n honor to help. We have done many Designs in Canada. I’m would LOVE to fly there this Spring or Summer to show show off your space. Let me know if that works? 3d design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
@@BackyardDesignGuy sounds like a plan! I’ve booked a Zoom meeting.
Hi! I'm from Oklahoma, we deal with really strong winds, but would still like to create a backyard living area. Is there a design trick to making sure we can block some wind without destroying the structure?
Yes. I would for sure recommend that we do a 3D Design. We will work with u to solve the wind issues www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Hi! Keep watching your videos and I notice you always say to make the focal point across from the sight line of the house. What if the house doesn’t have a sight line from the main living area? For example, a split level home where you can only see the backyard from the bedroom upstairs. Where should the focal point be if there is no sight line from kitchen/living/dining?
Where are those items in your home? Are they faced towards the front yard? How do you access the backyard?
Living/dining/kitchen faces the front of the house. No yard, just a driveway.
Back of the house which is upper level (bedrooms) faces the back. Backyard has to be accessed by going out the front and walking around
HI Lenore, very interesting. It would probably be best to have us design the space for you. Is that an option for you? www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process Let me know? If not I will try to figure another way to help you out with this one. Have a great day
Hi Micah! It's Cassandra in suburb of Chicago, IL. I've been following you for a while now and I reached out to you last year regarding the short summers here. My backyard is less than 1/4 acre but we have a decent size deck and a small patio but I want my backyard to be that destination and oasis even if it's for 3 or 4 monthl. I love your designs...absolutely stunning! Can a small yard be as beautiful as the amazing yards you've done? I love the wow factor but don't have the wow budget. What would be better for us? 3D design or one on one? Thanks in advance.
3D Design for sure. Although if you have a SOLID idea of what you want (a list of items) and have done some sketches (following the principles in my videos) and you think you are close to finalizing your Design, then I think the 1 on 1 could be helpful. I can help you navigate to the correct vision and help you bring your best Backyard Living Space into life. "True" Backyard Design is ALWAYS the best though.....that way u don't make mistakes.
I need help! We are located in Oregon. Trying to juggle the ideas I have for our backyard. I don't want to ivercrowd the space, but also want enough seating options for 2 separate sections- 1 dining and 2 conversation.
Hi Natasha, I can help with Design and we are also located in Oregon so we can also possibly help with the build portion. Here is our Design process www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Love your eye on my property, Long Island NY
I would love to see it Gary. What do u think...3D Design or 1on1? Maybe I could then stop by when I'm in NJ in a month or so? Let me know
Hi Micah! Very informative video. I’m in Austin TX and looking for help with my space. When are you planning to be out here ?
Hi Dan, I'll be there in July. I can't wait. Hopefully it's not too hot 😡.... I'd be happy helping u out while I'm there. It would probably be best to get moving on the 3d design but I can do whatever is best for u and your family. I hope it works out where I can visit while I'm there. Have an amazing day
Hi I live in Florida and love your ideas. Especially, the screens that come hide and come down when need it. I need help!!!

Greetings from Lima, Ohio! I have been reviewing your videos over the past few months and my wife and I are in need of some design help. We have a lot of potential to do something nice in our backyard. We bought this property nearly a year and a half ago. My goal is to get my wife to enjoy the open space with family and friends. Thanks Kevin in O-H-I-O!!!
Love this video. Las Vegas. But, I will not be ready for another year. My backyard is dirt. No mistakes have been made.
Nice! Good, I wish I could say that for lots of other people that jumped in and now have to correct issues. Let me know when your ready and I'll help with anything u need. Have a nice day
my 1 acre lot is a blank space so far and I don't even know where to begin! Struggling in Northlake Texas!
Hi Kathy, I think you would be a perfect candidate for a 3D Design www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process
Help, DE... Please and thank you. 💙 your enthusiasm and designs. Less than an hour from NJ.
I am totally here for you Miss Moca2U. Here is my 3D design process. www.backyardlivingguyde.com/3d-design-process or my 1 on 1 process www.backyardlivingguyde.com/coaching I am happy to help. I would also love to visit. Have a wonderful day
We designed our outdoor space, and absolutely love it, but there is one annoying problem. We love the shade that our pine trees offer on one end of our patio where we have our outdoor couch and chairs, but always have to leave furniture covers on everything when we aren’t entertaining because we get zillions of pine needles dropping as well as sap ruining the upholstery. I rarely just go out to sit and enjoy the patio because I don’t want to be bothered with cleaning up all the pine needles and removing and then replacing again the furniture covers. We considered purchasing one of those 12 x 14 gazebo-type structures that BJ’s sells, but worry we will feel too closed in, and love the airiness we have now. Any ideas?
That's a tough one. Maybe a simple shade sail cover. Nothing expensive just some posts with the shade sail covers. Those will prevent the sap from hitting the furniture and redirect the pine needles. Hope this helps.
Hello Micah, I am in Killeen, Texas and would love help with my backyard. You said you will be in Texas praying we can meet! Thank you and stay wonderful and bless.
