About Us
Welcome to Backyard Home Design Build
Founded in 2012, Backyard Home Design Build has grown from a passion project into a leading online resource dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces. Our journey began with a simple vision: to empower homeowners and DIY enthusiasts with the knowledge and inspiration needed to create stunning backyard oases.
Our Story
The idea for our website was born out of a personal quest to find comprehensive and trustworthy information on backyard design and construction. We quickly realized that the internet was lacking in reliable, beginner-friendly resources that cover the entire spectrum of home improvement projects. This gap in the market inspired us to create a one-stop platform that would become a trusted guide for those seeking to enhance their outdoor living spaces.
Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones, including:
- Reaching 1 million unique visitors in 2017, showcasing the growing demand for our content.
- Expanding our team in 2019 to accommodate the increasing number of projects and reader engagement.
- Launching our mobile app in 2020, making expert advice accessible on the go.
- Being featured in renowned design publications as a go-to source for backyard inspiration.
