add background image in laravel 5

Question

I am trying to add a background image for my website in Laravel 5.

I've used this in my css file.

html {
        background-image: url("images/background.jpg");
    }

the image is in the public folder of my Laravel project folder. I tried all the paths but it just doesn't load.

I keep getting this error:

http://Laravelproject.app:8000/background.jpg 404 (Not Found)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
