Bobby and our design team have completed countless designs over the years. But with a busy schedule, it’s just not possible for them to take on every project. Luckily there is another way to design a space. By utilizing Fiverr, a marketplace full of talented freelancers, we can still create designs – including a digital design for Bobby’s backyard – without spending very much time or money!
Between traveling, a packed schedule, and lots of projects in the works, Bobby had to put his own backyard design on the back burner. But that was about to change with the help of Fiverr! We worked with a talented landscape architect and 3-D rendering artist from Fiverr to help create Bobby’s dream backyard. And believe it or not, it only took a few days and around $250 to make it happen!
But how did the process work – and how can you utilize Fiverr to create a design for your own home? You’re about to find out. And be sure to visit Fiverr and use code BOBBYBERK for 10% off your Fiverr project!

The SPACE
In its current state, Bobby’s backyard is a blank slate – and a seriously underutilized area. Tucked into a lush hillside, it consists of a large flagstone patio and a retaining wall with a few plantings. Besides a dining table and some empty planters, there isn’t much to it. However, there is plenty of potential for creating an outdoor oasis complete with lounge and dining areas.

The INSPIRATION
Bobby’s vision for the backyard is to create a relaxing, and refined space made for entertaining and enjoyment. It will feature a low-slung seating area with a fire pit, a shaded dining area, and a mix of natural materials that will compliment the flagstone patio. For the landscaping, an array of textures and green tones will create a verdant and lush backdrop that feels quintessentially California.

The LAYOUT & LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Landscape Designer Nick then translated Bobby’s vision into a detailed 2-D landscape plan complete with dimensions, materials, and plants. The plan maps out the backyard layout, with a dedicated seating area with firepit, and a dining area that features crushed gravel flooring and a metal pergola with string lights. A number of new plantings have also been added, including a mix of grasses, succulents, olive trees, and fragrant climbing jasmine.

The DIGITAL DESIGN
After we received the landscape design, we then turned to 3-D Render Artist Kays to fully visualize the space. And what a stunning result (if we may say so.) The rendering perfectly showcases Bobby’s design – and also provides a photorealistic look at the potential of the space. Furniture-wise, we opted for one of our favorite outdoor brands, Sutherland. Their Plateau collection is the perfect marriage of modern and classic, and their Dining Table, Dining Side Chair, Armless Sofa, and Lounge Chair elevate the entire backyard. With the addition of a pergola, roaring firepit, and lush landscaping, it’s easy to imagine this image turning into a reality – and Bobby spending lots of quality time here!
