The Best Celebrity Backyards of 2024

From flashy cars to designer clothing, the wealth of celebrities grants them access to luxuries most of us will only ever dream of having. But even if multimillion-dollar mansions aren’t within our means, we can still emulate stars’ outdoor living spaces by choosing accessible alternatives to create our own lush landscapes.

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity backyards to fuel your inspiration for this year’s outdoor projects.

Four of the Best Celebrity Backyards in 2024

Billy Joel’s Long Island Luxury

While you may not have space for a helipad, a four-bedroom guest house, and both an indoor and outdoor pool, you can still take notes from musician Billy Joel’s pristine property when designing your landscape. The singer’s Long Island mansion sits atop a well-manicured lawn with gently curving pathways and mature trees.

The home has been on the market for quite some time, so he’ll likely be “movin’ out” soon and leaving behind a swoon-worthy gazebo covered in climbing greens. Recreate the look in your own yard by planting flowering vines like clematis or honeysuckle at the base of a wooden awning or lattice panel, and gently securing their ascent by looping vine and posts together with twine where needed.

Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher’s Tranquil Retreat

Situated on six acres in L.A., the home of the actors from “That 70s Show” features a barbecue pavilion, pool, and stone pathways. Built with natural materials, the outdoor structures blend seamlessly into the scenic backyard, which is flanked by neat rows of hedges. Borrow their style in your own backyard by shaping walkways with large, natural stones and planting shrubs like arborvitaes for privacy screens. In springtime, you can also bring appropriately-pruned blooming branches indoors!

Oprah’s Outstanding Oasis

Talk show host, television producer, actress, and author… Oprah Winfrey’s incredible career has spanned over five decades, earning her a 70-acre estate in Montecito named “The Promised Land.” With tiered gardens, stone pathways, and lush foliage throughout, each detail of the property has clearly been cultivated with the utmost care.

We’re fans of the koi pond and its sloped, scenic surroundings in particular. These water features call for proper oxygen flow and filtration, but are fairly simple to maintain when built correctly. Consider starting small: some home improvement stores offer complete pond kits to take the guesswork out of construction. But consult with a tree specialist before installation, to ensure no tree root systems will be damaged in the process, or crowd your koi!

Laurence Fishburne’s Posh Patio

If your outdoor living space just isn’t coming to life the way you’d hoped, rest assured that even the celebrities need help sometimes. Actor Laurence Fishburne recently called in the aid of HGTV stars Drew and Jonathan Scott (better known as “The Property Brothers”) to revamp his L.A. backyard. The pair transformed a sad-looking span of concrete into a sleek, resort-style retreat. Overhaul your own outdoor area by repairing concrete as needed and adding seating, awnings, and umbrellas where you need shade to liven up unused spaces.

If your yard is like Fishburne’s and lacks mature trees, you can still incorporate greenery. Position vertical planters with hanging plants along outdoor walls or fencing, and place potted trees in strategic spots. Create an inviting evening ambiance by taking notes from the Scott brothers and placing outdoor string lights along the spaces you wish to highlight.
