About Me

Hello! I’m Ethan Greenfield, the founder and lead contributor here at My Backyard Pro.

My journey to becoming a backyard enthusiast has its roots in a life-changing experience.

Years back, my family and I faced a major hurdle that kept us inside, looking out at a neglected, overgrown yard that seemed to mock us daily.

Determined to turn things around, I devoted every spare hour I had to transforming that yard into a beautiful, functional space that would become a gathering place for loved ones.

And it worked—it was our sanctuary, our place of healing, and our escape. That’s when I realized: if I could make my own backyard amazing, maybe I could help others do the same.

Through research, hands-on trial, and an unending love for outdoor spaces, I’ve since become a true backyard pro.

Whether it’s designing a tranquil garden, setting up the latest in sustainable outdoor tech, or curating trends in backyard living, I bring both personal experience and technical know-how to each piece of advice.

You can trust that every tip here has been thoroughly vetted, and every solution is one I’d use myself.

Outside of the world of backyards, I enjoy hiking, woodworking, and spending time with my family.

I believe that these hobbies fuel my creativity and keep me inspired to explore new ideas that ultimately make their way onto My Backyard Pro.

I’m based in the USA, and I’d love to connect with you directly! Drop me a message anytime!

Let’s make your backyard amazing!
