Ep 19. Brothers Helping Brothers

In Property Brothers season 8 episode 19, titled "Brothers Helping Brothers," the dynamic duo of Drew and Jonathan Scott take on a project close to their hearts. They team up with their older brother JD and his wife Annalee to help them renovate their backyard and turn it into an outdoor oasis.

JD and Annalee have been living in their home for several years and have always dreamed of having a space where they can entertain guests and relax in the sunshine. However, their backyard is currently a blank canvas with no features to speak of.

Drew and Jonathan are excited to take on the challenge and put their expertise to work. First, they sit down with their brother and sister-in-law to discuss their wants and needs for the space. JD and Annalee envision a space that is both functional and beautiful, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining.

With these goals in mind, Drew and Jonathan get to work creating a design plan that incorporates all of the couple's must-haves. They begin by adding a large wooden deck that spans the length of the backyard. This gives the space a natural and organic look, while also providing plenty of room for outdoor furniture and appliances.

Next, the brothers focus on creating separate zones for cooking and dining. They install a custom-built outdoor kitchen with all the bells and whistles, including a grill, fridge, and sink. They also create a shaded dining area with a large table and plenty of chairs.

For the lounging area, Drew and Jonathan decide to focus on creating a cozy and comfortable space that is perfect for unwinding after a long day. They install a custom-built wooden pergola and outfit it with a plush outdoor sofa and chairs. The pergola also provides some much-needed shade during the hot summer months.

One of the most unique features of the new backyard is the custom-built water feature. Drew and Jonathan install a large stone wall with a cascading waterfall that flows into a small pool. This not only adds a calming element to the space, but also provides some ambient noise.

As with all of their projects, Drew and Jonathan pay close attention to the details in the backyard renovation. They install new lighting fixtures throughout the space, including string lights and ambient lighting on the pergola. They also add some finishing touches with outdoor decor and accessories, including potted plants and a fire pit.

The end result is a stunning and functional outdoor oasis that JD and Annalee are thrilled with. The space is transformed from a blank canvas to a beautiful and relaxing environment that they can enjoy for years to come.

In "Brothers Helping Brothers," Drew and Jonathan show that with a little creativity and hard work, any space can be transformed into a beautiful and functional environment. It's a testament to their skill and passion for design, as well as the strong bond they share with their family.
