Backyard Life

Get Ready to Live the Backyard Life!

Since some of the world’s most wondrous places lie just outside the back door, Exmark created its Backyard Life website, developed to inspire homeowners to realize the full potential of their own backyards.

Backyard Life is a unique destination website for home and acreage owners looking to enhance their property and spend more quality time outdoors.

"We believe backyard life has value beyond measure and should be treated as such. That’s why we build mowers that deliver the perfect cut— in less time—so homeowners can spend more time doing what they love. Our goal with Backyard Life is to give these homeowners the tips, tricks, and know-how to take their backyard experience to the next level."
John Cloutier, Exmark Senior Marketing Manager

With a variety of blogs, how-to videos, and lifestyle features, Backyard Life gives visitors an immersive multimedia experience. Exmark has partnered with leading influencers and content experts to create original content that’s both informative and entertaining.

Exmark Original Series content includes the Backyard Smart, Done-In-A-Weekend Projects, Done-In-A-Weekend Extended Cuts, Dream Yards, Living Rural and Prime Cuts series.

In the Done-In-A-Weekend Extended Cuts videos, Scott partners with lawn and garden experts to cover more complex, strategic projects, including layering plants, outdoor illumination, and mowing like a pro, among others.

Since great food is a staple of backyard life, Exmark partnered with former Iron Chef Showdown winner, David Bancroft, for its Prime Cuts original series of outdoor cooking and living videos. In each video, Bancroft works with guest chefs to show viewers how to cook up unforgettable dishes, including Michael Waddell’s turkey nuggets and Joe Thomas’ antelope medallions.

For the Exmark Original Series, Dream Yards, landscape designerJane Waldorp travels the country to inspire viewers with profiles of innovative, beautiful, and well-kept yards.
