I will show you how to do that.

How to do a complete Backyard Makeover on a Budget?

Good question. Let's take a look at what you can do to give your backyard a complete makeover.

Lighting - Some basic string lights, tungsten bulbs to get that warm hue, some fairy lights, some warm white LED bulbs can be hanged from one corner of the patio to another.
Plants - Utilize the blooming season to bring in vibrant and colorful plants into your backyard. Make it a point to add flowering plants in your backyard or patio.
Swing - A swing or a hammock or a rocking chair is something that you'll thank yourself for. You can relax and read a book or maybe listen to some music on your phone while watching the nature.
Sitting Arrangement - When you're a social butterfly and not a lone wolf like me, you'd be inviting people and the best way to host a grilling summer night is to arrange it in your backyard. So make sure you have proper sitting arrangement such as a cozy couch with cute cushions.
Rugs - No matter how much we say, but rugs have a way of accentuating the beauty of a place. And, when it comes to your backyard, rugs are no less. Go for bold patterns or boho themed rugs.

Understand your Needs for your Backyard

When you want to redo your backyard, you need to understand what you want.

Maybe you want to sit by the fire-pit, so you can arrange some chairs around it and put in some cute cushions.
Maybe you want to create a shady dining area outdoors, so for that you need to arrange a table and keep a natural looking rustic centerpiece for the table.
Maybe you feel like you need to redo your side walk or you want to create a meandering sidewalk with flowering plants on both sides. So, for that you need to know the shape of pathway you want. Then you can use stones of the shapes you want to suppress the weeds.
Add a trellis. Trellis is another fancy way to add to your garden. It adds accents to your backyard.
Add some paint - Sometimes just refurbishing could be done with some paint. Neutral shades like beige, taupe, or light grey makes those green plants glow like anything else.

Enchanting and Breathtaking Ideas for Backyard

Choose String Lights - String lights aren't just for festivals. String lights can be used to give your backyard a new look. You can use Edison bulbs, string lights, fairy lights, moroccan lamps, icicle lights and more.
Tree trunks - Create a cozy dining spot outdoor using the tree trunk as a light or use candles for lighting.
Outdoor Movie Night - Take your projector outside and use the projector to watch Netflix or your favorite film while relaxing in your backyard.
