However, some ideas may need some extra investment in maintenance to keep them nice month after month. I will point those out on the way.

Keep the area clean and tidy by mowing your lawn often and then add a touch of color with a bunch of flowers.
A big tree will add curb appeal to the area or anything fancy that may improve the overall look and feel of your yard.
2. Set Up a Pool for Kids

Buy the pool online and set it up in the backyard to have fun with your friends and family.
Once a white just change the water. Then decorate the pool with flowers or plants to add greenery and make it feel like a real pool.
Take care of the pool and it will take care of your backyard.
3. Lay Plants on the Stairs

If you have stairs in the backyard then add some potted plants to improve the curb appeal.
They are low maintenance and do not need too much effect to grow them.
You can also use some climbing plants and let them cover your backyard floor or the roof. They will look like a forest. Try it.
4. Make a Focal Point

A focal point is something that catches the eye from far away.

You can do the same or use a water fountain for it. I will give you the ideas in a bit.
5. Design a Water Feature

A shed for a peaceful evening will be perfect for your backyard design.

A rocky pathway with a mix of gravel and Pebbles will look awesome in the backyard area as shown in the picture.
First, add the gravel, then the back stones, and then the pathway. Hire someone to design it for you.
8. Add Mulch in the Backyard Walkway

It will be low maintenance and help you fight the weeds and dirt. Plus it will also improve your curb appeal.
