Ep 12. Snack Shack

As a renowned landscape expert, Ahmed Hassan has shocked and delighted homeowners with his excellent backyard renovation ideas for many years. His contribution to landscaping and design is undeniable, and in Yard Crashers season 3 episode 12 titled "Snack Shack," Ahmed Hassan has another challenging project on his hands. In this episode, Ahmed helps homeowners to design and build an outdoor cooking and eating area in their backyard.

The episode begins with Ahmed Hassan walking through a beautiful neighborhood in San Francisco, looking for a suitable project to work on. He meets a family who is having issues with their backyard and are looking for a renovated entertainment area that will enable them to cook, eat and relax outdoors. Hassan is excited about the new project and invites the family to join him at the store to pick out the materials they want from among the array of options available.

Ahmed and his crew begin by demolishing the existing pergola to create space where the new outdoor kitchen is set to be installed. Next, they install new decking that not only adds character but also ensures a more functional space. The new deck offers more seating and provides enough room to accommodate an outdoor grill, a sink, and plenty of storage for the family's grilling and cooking accessories.

The next phase of work involves building an attractive outdoor bar area that will complement the new space. Ahmed and his team add an overhead wooden frame lined with wainscoting to give the bar a more modern look, add a black smoker, a commercial-grade outdoor refrigerator, and ample storage into the design. The new bar area comes with a lot of functionality, making it possible for the homeowners to store all the items they need, including glasses, utensils, and mixers, in the drawers and cabinets provided. The tile countertop is not only practical but adds the final touches of the outdoor kitchen design.

Another crucial segment of the backyard revamp involves the replacement of the spillway waterfall. Hassan experts create a pool bridge, with steps leading down into a serene pond. The backyard's new centerpiece has a naturalistic feel that provides a gentle sound that adds to the overall tranquil feeling of the space. The family members are impressed with the serene outcome of the water feature, which now acts as a perfect hideaway on those scorching days.

Once the team completes the outdoor living area, Ahmed moves on to create a comfortable seating space surrounding the new cooking area. As always, he employs his knowledge of landscape design to come up with a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The area now has a comfortable fire pit, an outdoor movie screen, and an outdoor television to showcase entertainment under the stars.

The crew is then tasked with putting the finishing touches on the revamped backyard area. Hassan's team returns to the store to select fixtures to add beauty and functionality. Water-resistant lighting systems were installed, making it possible to extend outdoor relaxation hours.

Finally, at nightfall, Ahmed reveals the transformed backyard cooking and entertainment area to the family. Their excitement and appreciation are obvious from their enthusiastic reactions, and Ahmed knows that he has once again helped homeowners realize their dream backyard living area.

In conclusion, Yard Crashers season 3 episode 12 titled "Snack Shack" is an entertaining and inspiring episode that showcases Ahmed Hassan's skills, creativity, and expert landscaping knowledge.
