Where your dream backyard becomes a doable plan.
This is where you go from “Where do I even start?” to “I’ve got this.”
Inside The DIY Den, we’ll walk you through exactly how our DIY Project Playbook Package works — from design to course access to coaching through your entire build.
Start with your vision. We’ll help shape it.
You’ll fill out our Dream Design Questionnaire, upload photos of your yard, and tell us your goals, wishlist, and style. This helps us get to know your space — and your vibe — before we even meet.
You’ll receive a link to submit:
- Site photos & videos
- Survey or plat map
- Design preferences & inspiration
You’ll meet with a real designer — not just a software.
We’ll schedule a virtual 1-on-1 design session to go over everything: layout, features, style, scope, and budget considerations.
What you get:
- Custom 2D + 3D backyard design
- Cinematic video walkthrough
- Scaled layout plan
- Permit-ready construction set
Turnaround: Within 48 hours of your design call, your visuals and plan set are delivered.
This is where you go from idea to action.
We’ll grant you access to your private Member Dashboard — home to your plans, checklists, and resources.
You’ll receive:
- Access to the full 4-Week DIY Builder Course
- Phase-by-phase construction checklists
- Subcontractor Scope of Work sheets
- Material & equipment sourcing guidance
- Emergency support access if something goes sideways
You’re not alone. You’re just in charge.
As construction begins, you’ll still have access to:
- Ongoing coaching from your designer
- A private group of fellow DIY builders
- Tools to track your progress and avoid common pitfalls
- Optional referrals to trades in your area via The Trades Room
We give you the roadmap. You take the wheel.

When you manage your own project, you skip the hidden markups that general contractors often add to materials, labor, and upgrades. That means more of your budget goes toward actual features — not fees. With the right plan and support, DIY doesn’t just save money — it makes every dollar work harder.
