I dont know how this is but will check it out anyways.

A familiar face returns to HGTV this summer when seasoned landscape designer Jamie Durie, best known from the network's popular show The Outdoor Room With Jamie Durie, helps clients transform their neglected and out-of-control outdoor spaces in his new series Backyard Takeover.

Premiering Friday, Aug. 21, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the series spotlights Jamie as he works with two families in each episode to turn their lackluster backyards into showstopping, personalized outdoor oases. In the season premiere, Jamie's clients are amazed as he clears out an overgrown backyard to create a serene garden space with an alfresco dining area and a play structure for the kids, while for another family he builds a coastal-inspired retreat featuring a fishing pier and art studio.

"I've transformed backyards all over the world," said Jamie. "These backyards have enormous potential-but it takes a lot of work. If I'm going to get my hands dirty, the homeowners have to get their hands dirty too."

i like my simple low maintenance backyard....deck....and some grass!

I look forward to new programs!

I have been working on digging up and not replacing some plant material in my back yard landscape.  I still have the desire and energy to do it but I figured I might as well work towards getting it easier to handle.  

The front yard is going to have an overhaul in the spring of 2021....there is a decent amount of maintenance to be done and I am tired of it.  The neighborhood cats use my mulch for a litter box, ugh.  I will be using mostly lava rock with one section mulch.  Hope that deters the cats.

I used to enjoy the show called Curb Appeal with that ever so handsome John Gidding.

This show sounds interesting and also ready for more HGTV options. Son works in remodeling. He said with people home so much this year, they're either selling homes and buying what they really want or remodeling. Expanding their home to include outside spaces is huge. In fact -- the demand for lumber and decking is at an all-time high. We're replacing our deck out of need and won't be able to start process until September.

It sure will be nice to see something in yards and not the same old flipping shows.
