In Yard Crashers Season 6 Episode 13, titled "Modern California Retreat," the team heads to California to help a couple transform their backyard into a modern retreat. Host Matt Blashaw meets with homeowners, Don and Dana, whose backyard is a run-down space with overgrown plants and an unused pool. Don and Dana are ready for a change, so they turn to Yard Crashers to help redesign the space.
Matt takes a look at the backyard and outlines his plan to create a modern space that incorporates the unused pool, as well as adding some unique touches to give the space a California vibe. To start, Matt and his team drain the pool and add a new liner. They also remove the old concrete around the pool and replace it with new, modern pavers.
One of the major elements of the design is an outdoor kitchen, complete with a grill, counter space, and seating area. Matt and his team construct a custom concrete countertop and install a new grill. They also build a pergola over the entire outdoor kitchen area to provide some shade during the hot California days.
Another important aspect of the design is a fire pit area. Matt installs a custom-made fire pit that features a unique design. He also adds seating around the fire pit area, using modern and comfortable chairs.
Matt and his team create a seating area around a large tree in the yard, using a combination of modern and vintage pieces to give the space a unique look. They also plant new trees and bushes to give the space a more natural feel.
To finish the design, Matt adds some unique touches, including a large water feature and a custom-made wooden bench. He also installs new lighting throughout the space to create a warm and inviting atmosphere during the nighttime hours.
Overall, Yard Crashers Season 6 Episode 13 is a fantastic example of how a run-down backyard can be transformed into a beautiful and functional retreat. Matt Blashaw and his team have done an excellent job creating a modern space that incorporates natural elements and unique touches to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
