If you have a lot of family members, creating an epic backyard will encourage the kids to spend more time outdoors than inside using their phones or computers. While for adults this can be a place to take a break from a busy life or a place to host a party for catching up with friends. Backyard Insider promotes outdoor spaces as a place that is therapeutic because being outside just sitting or being active reduces stress levels, making us feel more relaxed.
