Once you have finished cutting the grass with your cordless lawn mower, you might look around and think there are a lot of opportunities to work on enhancing your backyard. The only thing holding you back is that you might not feel ready to tackle a large outdoor project. 

While the big projects can have a major impact, you could plan a variety of smaller projects that will do a lot to upgrade your backyard space. Read on if you are looking for quick DIYs that you can finish in less than a day. Many of these projects are so quick and simple, you could plan to do a few of them the same day.

Hummingbird Feeder

A DIY hummingbird feeder is a simple DIY project that almost any person can do. Once you have it finished, it is easy to make hummingbird nectar with a little bit of water and sugar.
