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.
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!
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. ♥️
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
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.
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! ✌️
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❤❤❤!!!
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.
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😢
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.
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.
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!
Welcome summer projects for 2023!! Out of all the economical ways of redoing a backyard, on RUclips, yours is the best by far!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏😊☺️
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Omg so thankful I found your tutorial this is exactly what I want to do for my backyard small patio to sit out relax get some sun enjoy my yard..Thank you so much God bless you love it
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.
thank you so much! we just moved to a rental house from living in apartments most our lives and now we have a huge back yard, but I have balance problems and the yard has no porch and i want to be out when my older kids are outside bbqing and partying with other family. this will be perfect. thank you ...I am so glad i found your channel.
Beautifully done! Living on a budget with kids and making a great space for everyone, even in a rental! Way to go! Most of us can relate. And you left it better than you found it :D
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!!
Your the first video I have found that is budget renter friendly, I am doing mine similar yet bc my area is different I’ll be doing a little different but using top soil which I also picked up to level my down flow areas of a few stones. But today as I prepare to do my make over, I’ll definitely use measuring tape along with a leveler and I hope I have just enough pavers and black mulch will be used in between the pavers. Great video folks and I needed the inspiration to start after getting my supplies the other day. Yet I’ll need to sand, fix fencing and clean my permanent 8x10 patio first! Yet I’m ready let’s enjoy summer ☀️😃
SoFlo we have great weather year round. You all did a beautiful job. This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve watched. I’m making over my plain yard too. I started last summer, but life happen and I’m trying again now
Nice backyard. We did the same thing with the planter and the posts and added metal cleats to tie the rope, it helped adjust quickly the for bad weather.
I really enjoyed watching your backyard transformation and oasis, you guys did a fantastic job and your yard is very cozy and a great place for the kids to play.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wow Beautiful! And Noah even knows the dirt has to be higher close to the house, so the water will run away from the house. Great job, makes me want to re-do our back yard, thanks!
That was so inspiring to me! You guys are very creative and smart. Love how it turned out. It’s just like a space I want to fix up!! I’m dreaming about how to do it so this video helped.
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💯💯💯👏👏👏💪💪💪
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.
congratulations on your new home!
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!
Dad deserves a Medal of Honor!! Way to go dad👍
He’s helping and learning at the same time. Never too young to learn new skills.
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. ♥️
Wow, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words. You put a smile on my face 😊🥰
Where is the double-like button? Kid friendly, cozy and not permanent. Love it.
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 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
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.
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!
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!!!
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.

...the owners should reimburse you guys. That's an addition to the home.
We had fencing done for privacy landlord did no reimbursement what a shame
@@sheilabrown5367this is why you have to,agree with the landlord beforehand, if not they are not going to reimburse nothing
@snailandfox9983 Yes so truth!
That's right
Lovely! You guys are the manifestation of the saying "where there's a will there's a way!" Fabulous!
I know this is about the yard but I can really appreciate a barefoot family. ☺️🍃
Absolutely!!
Not me.
Only time I’m barefoot is when I step into the shower.
Love the concrete planter idea to be a movable post. Genius!
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❤❤❤!!!
You guys are the PERFECT TENANTS!! I,ll bet the owners shed a tear when you left!
Right
Right!! Upgraded their place. When you leave have them pay you for the materials
cause me I rent before, I dont care about the place. Its temporary. I like you make it your own. Awesome tenants.
After a few terrible tenant's I just got one who is wonderful. What a stress relief. Good tenant is so appreciated.
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.
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.
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😢
very cute, you added a children's play area. although not very broad, but it seems fun.
We did this kind of project on our backyard. All clearance items, our land lady (our grandma) was extremely happy!
Why can’t I find a tenant like you 😩😩🙌💯great job
This is THE best and most cost effective yard makeover I've seen. I had to watch it again!
Thank you so much!!
Painting the old, rusty chain link fence was brilliant!
I love seeing you all create this family space together. It’s wonderful! Enjoy yourself!❤
I love these type of videos...from nothing to glamorous! Nice job!!!
You guys would be the greatest tenants of all time!
Thank you!!
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.
Both yard makeovers turned out really nice. Your landlords must love you people. 🤭
That’s an amazing job.
It’s definitely a good thing for the owner because he /she had a complete makeover.
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.
You did such an AWESOME job!!
So Cozy and Inviting!! You should be very proud of yourselves!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful and inspiring ✨️ Thank you for sharing...Blessings Always 💜
Love the idea of using tarp instead of landscape cloth. The landscape cloth really doesn't stop weed growth!
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!

How happy is that little boy....seeing his parents peaceful.....so sweet!
Welcome summer projects for 2023!! Out of all the economical ways of redoing a backyard, on RUclips, yours is the best by far!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏😊☺️
Wow, thanks!
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.
Great job. It warmed my heart to see Noah helping. What a trouper!
Beautiful transformation!!! I bet you, your husband and boys loved this area❤
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!
Wow, great job! Looks very inviting. Pat yourselves on the back.
Muy bonito lo mejor es como edifica a su Familia, un ejemplo de amor a su casa y a la union de su Familia.❤
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. 😄
It sure turned out nice. It looks like very tropical Florida.
So proud of your boy, look at him helping !!
Thankyou so much. My backyard is alot bigger but this has inspired me to make a start with what I have already. Thankyou again.
Awesome, you guys are teaching your boys also🙏🏿🙏🏿
You guys did a great job! You totally renovated the whole yard! Looks fabulous!
Great job! I especially liked the kids helping in the way they could. the baby with the little shovel was adorable.
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!
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.
That’s so awesome JoAnn! It’s our home even if it’s for the time being I want to love it
I absolutely love the transformation. A great labor of love.
Wow!!! I so love to see everyday people do amazing DYI projects
Shoot leveling the ground is a lot of work and it looks like it is. Y'all did a great job!
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.
This was definitely what I was looking for - our rental backyard needs help. Thanks for showing everything step by step!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 😊
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.
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 💜
Omg beautiful mango tree!
OMG YOU GUYS KEEP DOING ALL THIS HARD WORK JUST TO MOVE. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
very nice. making the house a home for the lil sweet fam.
Well done Noah. Lucky they had your help.
Your landlord must have been thrilled with your hard work!! It really updated the dilapidated space!
Omg so thankful I found your tutorial this is exactly what I want to do for my backyard small patio to sit out relax get some sun enjoy my yard..Thank you so much God bless you love it
💥Love it! Thanks for sharing a realistic, do-able, functional, relaxing & lovely DIY backyard makeover! Sweet! 💖
Likes for the honest info about the plastic or etc to cover up the weed, respect,
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.
How lovely. All your hard work really paid off!
Noah is a hard worker! 💪🏼He learns fast⚡️Beautiful!🤩Your whole family works good together. You should be proud of your children!😄
The kid really wants to help! So cute
Absolutely beautiful. You guys did a fantastic job. Just think if all renters left the place better than they found it. I am truly impressed.
