Brian McCourt is a contractor and real estate agent who specializes in home renovations.

The show highlights the design process, from the initial concept and planning to the construction and final reveal.

One of the unique features of the show is the use of 3D virtual reality tools to help the homeowners visualize the design of their new backyard space. This technology allows the homeowners to see the design come to life and make changes or adjustments before any physical construction begins.

The show also places a strong emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable design. The team often incorporates recycled materials and greenery into the designs, creating a backyard space that not only looks beautiful but also benefits the environment.

Throughout the construction process, the team faces various challenges, such as unexpected weather conditions and unforeseen construction issues. However, they work together to overcome these challenges and ensure that the backyard space is completed on time and within budget.

Finally, the show concludes with the big reveal of the finished backyard space, where the homeowners get to see their new outdoor oasis for the first time. The show highlights the homeowners' reactions and their appreciation for the team's hard work and dedication to creating a beautiful and functional outdoor living space.

In summary, Backyard Builds is an entertaining and informative home renovation show that focuses on transforming neglected backyard spaces into beautiful and functional outdoor living areas.
