Having a healthy and beautiful yard comes with tons of benefits.

For one, it reduces stress.

It also creates more space and boosts the value of your property.

Unfortunately, improving one’s backyard often requires a lot of money.

One man is going viral on the internet for his DIY backyard transformation.

He’s uploaded a handful of tutorials anyone thinking of home improvement may find helpful.

He has a video showing how to frame shed walls and shed sheathing installation.

He also covered plant hangers, trash can screens, and even fire table pits.

With his skills, it’s no surprise how he was able to come up with a great way to transform his backyard.

Andrew first started with the extension of the concrete patio.

Of course, if you’re going to improve your backyard, you might as well add more living space.

It’s good not just for the family but for friends coming over too.

He also took down a couple of trees to give way for his horizontal fence rails.

With power tools and a few extra hands, he was able to complete the part in no time.

The most exciting part was probably the deck.

Seeing how he cut the materials and installed everything, you can easily tell how skilled he is.

Everything looked like a breeze to do.

Then, there’s the shed.

With just two people, they were able to set it up quickly.

And even though they weren’t a lot of people working on it, they made sure the shed has everything, including lots of exterior outlets.

The entire process took a lot of work.

They had to clean the yard and make a few different projects to complete its look.

They were able to make a new patio, deck, shed, fence, and so much more.

Even after everything, they were still able to save around $20,000.

You won’t believe the results!

The channel’s subscribers were quite amazed at the end result. One of them said:

“I’m a landscape installation business owner and I can confirm that you did save thousands and thousands on this job. The end result looks really great man. The best part to me is just seeing you bust ass getting that done. Working nights and weekends just grinding. The video never does it justice for how much work actually goes into something like that. Good job”

Another one commented:

“Watching this transformation was just so satisfying, especially since it’s obvious that you took the extra steps to do it well rather than taking shortcuts (ex., tilling the ground before adding topsoil). Love the shed!”
There was also this person who said:
“With this kind of skilled workmanship, you should hit your 50K and a whole lot more. Absolutely fantastic job.”
