Ep 6. Louie and Farrah

Louie and Farrah’s yard is overgrown and outdated, with a dilapidated fence and broken patio. They want to transform their outdoor space into a low-maintenance oasis, perfect for entertaining guests and spending time with family.

The Fix This Yard team, headed by expert landscaper and contractor, Amy Matthews, comes in to assess the situation and figure out the best plan of action. Amy quickly identifies the challenges facing Louie and Farrah's yard, including poor drainage, worn out grass, and outdated hardscape materials.

First on the list is removing the old, rotting fence and installing a sturdy new one that will not only add much-needed security but also provide aesthetic appeal. The team decides on a horizontal plank design, using pressure-treated lumber for durability.

Next, Amy and the crew tackle the patio, which is cracked and unsightly. They remove the old pavers and replace them with sleek, modern concrete squares. The new patio not only looks fantastic, but it is also Slip-Resistant, making it a safer space for Louie and Farrah's family and guests.

The team then turns its attention to the yard, removing the worn and patchy grass and installing synthetic turf. The new lawn provides a lush, green space that requires minimal upkeep and no watering.

To add a bit of character to the outdoor space, the team builds a charming raised-bed garden, filled with vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The garden not only adds a beautiful touch to the yard, but it also provides fresh produce that Louie and Farrah can use in the kitchen.

Finally, the team focuses on the drainage issue, installing a series of dry creek beds to manage the runoff from rain and watering. The new system is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, adding a natural touch to the yard's design.

In the end, Louie and Farrah's yard is transformed into a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor space that they can enjoy for years to come. The new fence, patio, synthetic turf, and garden add charm and character, while the dry creek beds solve the drainage issue. The Fix This Yard team once again proves that a little creativity, planning, and hard work can transform any outdoor space into a beautiful oasis.
