In Yard Crashers season 3 episode 5, entitled "Modern Putting Green," host Matt Blashaw takes on the challenge of transforming a dull and lackluster backyard into a beautiful and functional modern outdoor oasis.
Matt meets with the homeowners, a young couple who recently purchased their first home, and assesses their current backyard. The space is bland and uninviting, with an old, worn-down deck and a large, unused patch of grass. The couple expresses their desire for a unique, contemporary backyard that they can entertain in and enjoy.
Matt gets to work creating a modern putting green that will serve as the centerpiece of the new design. He brings in a professional putting green installer to talk to him about the materials and techniques needed to create a high-quality putting surface. They discuss how to create the contours and undulations that will make the green challenging but fun to play on.
Next, Matt tackles the deck area, which he plans to transform into a sleek and stylish outdoor living space. He removes the old deck boards and replaces them with new, low-maintenance composite decking that features an eye-catching herringbone pattern. He adds built-in benches and a custom-built fire pit, creating a cozy and inviting gathering spot.
To add privacy and interest to the space, Matt installs a living wall filled with succulents and herbs. He also creates a custom fence made from sleek black metal and decorated with geometric shapes.
Finally, Matt adds some finishing touches to the space. He installs a dramatic water feature made from black stone, as well as a series of modern pavers that lead from the deck to the putting green.
Throughout the episode, Matt's signature humor and energy keep things light and entertaining. He jokes with the homeowners and involves them in the process, making sure they are happy with every element of the design.
Overall, "Modern Putting Green" is a fun and exciting episode of Yard Crashers that showcases Matt's creativity and skill as a designer and landscaper. The end result is a gorgeous modern backyard that the homeowners will be able to enjoy for years to come.
