BYO Backyard About us
BYO Backyard Oasis is a small backyard-planning brand based in Cumming, Georgia. We help people across the US plan and build their backyard in three ways:
- Free buying guides. This site covers what to look for, how options compare, and what to measure before you spend money on outdoor furniture, fire features, lighting, sheds, and greenhouses. Guides include Amazon product picks that may earn us a commission.
- Digital planners and DIY plans. Our Etsy shop sells backyard planners, budget spreadsheets and DIY plans.
- The Backyard Oasis app (coming soon). An iPhone app that shows a free render of your own yard in the style you pick. See the app page.
How we research
We work from manufacturer specs and manuals, published ratings, building and safety guidance, and common owner-reported problems. We do not claim to have physically tested products unless a guide explicitly says so. We use AI tools to help research and draft, and every guide is checked against the sources and criteria it describes.
How we earn
Some links may earn us a commission. That never changes our criteria. See our disclosure.
