One of my favorites ways to relax has always been hanging out in the backyard with my partner, friends, and/or dog. Being close to nature is important to me and does wonders at bringing peace in my life. That’s why whenever I see a beautiful backyard getaway, I get totally envious. If you too are always on the hunt for new ways to spruce up your backyard oasis, you’re going to love this list of DIY backyard ideas!
