All homeowners aspire to have a beautiful yard that leaves jaws on the floor. But one TikToker took their yard transformation to another level.
TikTok creator Leah Schaughency (@leahschaughency) posted a short video showcasing her stunning three-year backyard transformation.
@leahschaughency My little backyard oasis🌸🌻🌺 May 2022-July 2025 #fyp #garden #gardening #flowers #summer #plantsoftiktok #backyardvibes #beforeandafter #transformation #summerflowers #plants ♬ Almost forgot that this was the whole point - Take my Hand Instrumental - AntonioVivald
In the first half of the video, Leah shows what her yard looked like three years ago. The yard was beautiful to begin with, as Leah had a nice stone walkway over natural mulch with plants on either side.
But in the second half of the video, when Leah fast-forwards to the present day, her yard looks like an oasis. The surrounding plants have grown to full potential, with grass growing in parts of the mulch, giving the yard a magical feel as Leah walks through her pathway.
The comments section was in awe of Leah's hard work.
"The after is absolutely gorgeous," one user commented.
Another user added, "I thought the before was the after until I saw the after."
Leah's video serves as an inspiring reminder that rethinking our outdoor spaces can yield amazing personal and environmental benefits. This is especially the case when moving away from traditional monoculture lawns.
Natural lawns, once established with plants and grass native to your area, are resilient and require far less time, effort, and energy to maintain. For homeowners, this translates to significant cost savings.
Native plants also support local ecosystems by providing essential food and habitat for pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects. Natural yards improve soil health and reduce runoff, making your property more climate-resilient.
