Backyard Builds Season 2 Episode 4 Tammy & Sam: Tropical Family Resort

Tammy and Sam are a young couple with two kids who love to travel to tropical destinations. However, they don't always have the time or budget to take elaborate vacations, so they've decided to create their own tropical oasis in their backyard. They enlist the help of backyard experts Brian and Sarah to transform their plain and uninspiring outdoor space into a stunning and functional family resort.

The episode begins with Brian and Sarah meeting Tammy and Sam to discuss their vision for the backyard. Tammy and Sam want to create a space that feels like a vacation retreat, with plenty of seating areas for lounging, a large dining area for family gatherings, and a pool for everyone to enjoy. They also want to incorporate elements of their favorite tropical destinations, like lush plants and water features.

Brian and Sarah get to work designing a plan for the backyard that meets all of Tammy and Sam's needs. They decide to create a multi-level deck that wraps around the house, with separate areas for dining, lounging, and sunbathing. They also plan to install an outdoor kitchen and bar, as well as a fire pit and seating area. To tie in the tropical theme, they choose plants and trees that will give the space a lush, jungle-like feel.

The first step in the transformation is to remove the existing lawn and level the ground. Brian and Sarah bring in heavy equipment to do this quickly and efficiently. They also bring in large rocks and boulders to create a natural-looking waterfall and stream that will run into the pool.

The next step is to build the deck. Brian and Sarah use pressure-treated lumber to create a sturdy foundation for the deck, and then lay composite decking boards to create a smooth and weather-resistant surface. They also build a pergola over the dining area to provide shade and define the space.

As the deck takes shape, Tammy and Sam are amazed at how quickly their backyard is being transformed. They can already picture themselves lounging on the deck, sipping cocktails and listening to the soothing sound of the waterfall.

Once the deck is complete, Brian and Sarah move on to the pool. They install a large, rectangular pool that will be perfect for swimming and playing games with the kids. They use a combination of tile and pebble finish to create a natural-looking surface for the pool.

Finally, they add the finishing touches to the backyard. They install the outdoor kitchen and bar, complete with a gas grill, refrigerator, and sink. They also lay pavers around the deck and pool to create a durable and attractive surface. And they add plenty of plants and trees to give the space a lush and tropical feel.

As the episode comes to a close, Tammy and Sam are thrilled with their new backyard paradise. They can't wait to host family and friends for backyard barbecues and pool parties. They feel like they've created a vacation retreat right in their own backyard, and they know they'll enjoy it for years to come.
