Set it up
Set up the backyard with some chairs or benches along with with a small table and maybe an electric outdoor heater to keep it warm for the family to spend a nice evening. You can change the overall look by including lawn or making a narrow walking area for early morning walks and maybe for doing some yoga in the lap of nature as it is supposed to be done. If there are kids you can also install a swing and a rocking chair for the elderly.
Play area
If your family is into playing games together, your backyard is the best place to do this. You can arrange games like carroms or chess matches between your family members. This will help have a memorable time with your family and help build a supportive and beautiful relationship within your loved ones. You can come up with other ideas like burying a trampoline or a badminton court if your family plays together. You can also arrange a play area for kids and call your kids’ friends over for a fun evening. This way you can spend some quality time with your family away from the virtual world which is increasingly taking most of our times.
Make a garden

Party place
If your backyard is huge enough you can set up friends and family gathering on a lazy Saturday night and catch up with them over dinner and some music.
