The three hosts are tasked with completely transforming their assigned properties, from the front yards to the backyards, and everything in between.

Additionally, the show's emphasis on teamwork highlights the importance of collaboration and cooperation in any home design and renovation project.

One of the unique features of Turf War is the way the show incorporates the neighborhood and its residents into the competition.
