Backyard ideas, on your own backyard
Backyard ideas all look alike because they come from yards that are not yours. Roomstill starts from your photo: same boundaries, same house behind, same orientation. You see what fifty styles do to your yard, and what the paving you add would cost.
Small yards: size is not the problem
A well-divided 50 m² yard reads larger than a 200 m² one left as lawn. What makes a space feel bigger is zones — a patio, a planted corner, a path — rather than one open expanse. That is immediately visible in a render and impossible to judge on a plan.
Low-maintenance: what it really costs
Replacing lawn with hard landscaping removes the mowing but costs up front: natural stone paving at **€30-95/m²**, concrete slab at **€16-60/m²**, outdoor porcelain at **€43-84/m²**, materials only. Over 20 m² that is €320 to €1,900 of material. The maintenance saving takes years to catch up — it is a comfort decision, not a money one.
What we price and what we do not
We price what is sold by the square metre: the surface you lay. We do not price planting — a tree runs from twenty to a thousand euros depending on species and size, and quoting a range that wide would help nobody. A 120 m² garden is not paved end to end: we price the part actually laid, and we say so.

Questions people ask
How do I design a small backyard?
By dividing it into zones rather than leaving one open space: a patio, a planted corner, a path. A divided plot reads larger than an empty one of the same area. Seeing it rendered on your own photo avoids discovering this after the work.
Is there an app that redesigns my backyard from a photo?
Yes — that is what Roomstill does for outdoor spaces. Upload a photo, pick a style, and the result comes back in about thirty seconds with the building and plot boundaries unchanged.
