Tracey and David have been struggling to enjoy their backyard due to its dilapidated state. The grass is yellow, the fence is falling apart, and there is no seating area to relax in. They have a vision of transforming the space into a beautiful oasis that they can share with friends and family. They welcome the outdoor experts from Fix This Yard, who arrive with a plan to turn their backyard into a stunning, functional retreat.
Hosts Amy Devers and Alan Luxmore start with a walkthrough of the space, taking note of the current layout and identifying problem areas. They sit down with Tracey and David to get a better understanding of what they want out of their backyard and what their budget is. Based on their conversations, the experts come up with a plan that involves installing new sod, building a custom pergola, and adding seating and dining areas.
The team starts by tearing down the old fence and clearing out the debris. They bring in fresh soil and lay down new sod, transforming the yellowed lawn into a lush green space. They also get to work on building a custom pergola, carefully measuring out the dimensions and constructing it piece by piece. The pergola will provide shade and shelter from the sun and rain, making the space more inviting and comfortable.
Next, they turn their attention to the seating and dining areas. They construct a beautiful wooden deck and add an outdoor dining table and chairs. They also build a custom bench along one side of the deck, providing plenty of seating for guests. The team finishes off the space with some beautiful landscaping, adding colorful flowers and plants to bring some life and vibrancy to the yard.
Throughout the episode, Amy and Alan offer helpful tips and advice on how to create a functional and beautiful outdoor space. They discuss the importance of creating a focal point in the yard, using color and texture to add interest, and designing spaces that are both comfortable and functional. They also emphasize the importance of choosing low-maintenance plants and materials that will require minimal upkeep.
By the end of the episode, Tracey and David's backyard has been transformed into a stunning oasis that they can't wait to spend time in. The new sod, pergola, and seating areas have completely transformed the space, and the couple is thrilled with the results. They can't wait to host their next outdoor gathering and show off their gorgeous new backyard.
