In Going Yard season 2 episode 5, titled Creativity Retreat, hosts Chris and Peyton Lambton visit a couple in Charlotte, North Carolina, who are seeking a backyard oasis that will inspire creativity and relaxation. The couple, who are parents and business owners, hope to have a space where they can unwind and brainstorm ideas for their work.

The episode begins with Chris and Peyton meeting the homeowners, Josh and Kelsey, to discuss their vision for their backyard. Josh and Kelsey express their desire for a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, where they can entertain family and friends, as well as find a quiet place to work.

Chris and Peyton then take a tour of the backyard and note the challenges that they will face in designing the space, including the slope of the yard and the lack of privacy. They also take into consideration the couple’s love of modern design and their desire for a fire pit and grill area.

The hosts then head to a local nursery to select plants and design elements for the yard. They choose a variety of plants that will thrive in the North Carolina climate, including Japanese maples and hydrangeas, as well as modern sculptures and outdoor furniture to complement the couple’s style.

Back at the house, Chris and Peyton begin the construction process. They level the yard and build a retaining wall to create a flat, usable space. They also install a custom fire pit and grill area, using sleek materials such as concrete and steel.

To address the privacy issue, Chris and Peyton install a modern fence that features a unique cut-out design. They also build a pergola that provides shade and creates a designated space for the couple to work and brainstorm ideas.

The final reveal showcases a beautiful and functional space that incorporates the modern design elements that Josh and Kelsey love. The yard features a spacious seating area with comfortable outdoor furniture, a custom fire pit and grill area, and an outdoor kitchen. The pergola provides a private and shaded area for the couple to work, while the modern fence and landscaping create a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Josh and Kelsey are thrilled with their new backyard and express their gratitude to Chris and Peyton for creating a space where they can relax and find inspiration. The episode ends with a final look at the stunning transformation and a reminder that a well-designed backyard can be a source of creativity and renewal.
