Lucky BackYards

The First Backyard Booking Marketplace - From Concept to Community

Overview

Lucky BackYards

www.luckybackyards.com

We want to help people rent backyards — for birthday parties, quiet yoga sessions, pool days, or even dog playdates. Not everyone wants to travel far. What if joy could be found just five minutes away?

A first-of-its-kind platform that allows backyard owners to list their outdoor spaces and guests to book them for short periods. YeasiTech designed, architected, and delivered the full platform from backend infrastructure to pixel-perfect UI.

User Personas

Hosts

Property owners who want to earn from their unused outdoor spaces by listing for events, playtime, or relaxation. They need a simple listing process, calendar control, and secure payouts.

Guests

Everyday people — parents, pet owners, fitness lovers — searching for nearby, affordable outdoor areas. They want flexible booking, clear availability, and trust in the platform.

Admins

The LuckyBackyards team manages listings, trust and safety, content moderation, and platform growth. They need full control and oversight via a powerful admin backend.

About the Client

LuckyBackyards is a simple platform that connects homeowners with people who need outdoor space. Whether it’s for a small party, yoga, playing with pets, or other activities, users can rent backyards nearby. These spaces may have fun features like trampolines, pools, or firepits, and can be booked by the hour or for the day.

Their mission: Turn underused backyards into vibrant community spaces—improving neighborhood interaction, generating income for hosts, and making outdoor experiences accessible near home.
