About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 3 kids and over 300+ videos. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.
In addition to Dude Dad©, I have been in numerous TV shows, commercials, and have regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I will also be hosting my own TV show called "Super Dad" on the new Magnolia Network / Discovery+. Heidi and the kids will also be a part of the show. I am originally from the rural community of Howard, South Dakota.

I love that the patio is (also) in the front...we live in a building with 16 apartments and we all get along SO well. So at least once a week, around 5.30pm when everyone comes home from work and we pick up the kids from daycare, everybody just somehow ends up in front of the building, drinking wine, eating snacks and playing with the kiddos....its wonderful (and im an introvert!)
I've been thinking of doing the same in my front yard. Just welcoming to neighbors.
That’s soo cool!!
ESPECIALLY the KID PART!!
That's a real community
@@Nan-59 its particularly amazing since there was no kids before we moved in 5 years ago, only middle aged and elderly ppl...our neighbors always say that the building came to life with all the little poopers (2 more families with little kids moved in after us). They always ask us to hang their artwork in the lobby and just shower them with kindness. Our children only have one grandparent left and she lives abroad, but i really feel like they have a house full of wonderful grandparents that are there for them 🥰
I love your reasoning for putting a patio in the front yard. You guys are doing a really great job of showing christian hospitality. Sharing smores and sharing your home and family with your hilarious videos. Love you guys! And congratulations on the baby!
More people should spend time in inviting spaces like you have created. It gives you a great sense of community and makes you feel safer in your home. I have gotten to know my neighbors because of the amount of time I spend working with the garage open and I am grateful for it.
Hi Dustin!
That's a good thing!
Wow, "that's pretty slick", but "it'll be about a thousand "!
Lol, awesome video and project. Total inspiration!
You go with having 4 kids!! We had four boys and wouldn’t change a thing!! Goes by super fast. Love all of your transformations on your property!!
Thanks Mike n' Amy!
I doubt Taylor or Heidi will see this, but if you do, I just want to say how much comfort your videos give me. Which sounds weird, because I’m pretty sure I’m a few years older than you both 🥲🤭 But, growing up, my dad was super handy and could make/fix anything. His fav show was Home Improvement. I also had 3 siblings; 1 sister and 2 brothers, so your family dynamic very much mirrors mine. All of these videos just take me back…I rewatch any time im feeling anxious, sad, etc., because there’s just so much joy in them. I hope y’all do more vlog type videos in the future, too! They’re my absolute fav ☺️💕
It has been great delivering to you and seeing how much your yard/ house has transformed!
the culdesac will never be the same!
I am so happy to see you explaining how important it is to do things in the front yard. My first city neighbors 20 years ago said they consciously always played w their son in the front yard and not back for the exact reasons you mentioned. I always did the same with my kids.
Awesome front yard. I'm a dad of 4 kids as well. I love your reasons for a front yard fire pit. We used to live in a small home owners association house where we'd have bon fires (portable fire pits) in the drive way for neighbors to come and hang out. We've since moved to a different town and miss that connection. Seeing you put this patio/fire pit in your front yard is awesome and motivates me to do something similar.
We have always done the “congregate in the front driveway w the firepit” thing too! Every spring and fall especially. We’ve been blessed to have a great group of neighbors that we really get close to and love.
Pro tip!!!
I love how beautiful it is, and how it was all filmed, but I especially LOVE what you said about why it's in the front. We should know our neighbors and invite them over, and having a space to do so just makes sense. It's sad to see them going away.
LOVE the part about community. I wish more people felt that way.💖🤗
Y’all worked so hard and it looks fantastic!!! Really ties in the front of the house remodel from last year.
We’re looking to redo our (huge) front yard and a fire pit and patio is a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration
In the beginning I wasn’t sure about the patio out front but after hearing the reason for it I think it’s an awesome idea!
I'm in love with this front yard patio! I'm old school and a front porch is a must for me, but I could live with this!
When you watch a video and desperately want to be a part of the community 😍 You are so amazing and inspiring on so many levels!
I love that your family has done so well on this TH-cam channel. You deserve it.
You guys are such a genuine, lovely family.
I love the patio in the front. I agree people don’t talk to each other any more. This is a fantastic idea and helps people to connect to each other. Love the butterfly bushes.
I love this! Yay for baby #4! Keep it up! The world needs more of you guys!! Patio looks awesome.
Boy, you all worked so hard.
This was lovely to watch.
Bless you guys x
Having the patio in the front garden is a great idea. 👍
I’m absolutely loving the energy from this channel.
I like this idea. I have a house with a rather large front yard. I was thinking of putting in a porch. But this paver idea with fire pit looks like a great idea, too.
Love the community aspect and feel!
I agree with Heidi, a birch tree is way too big for your front yard. I don't know how fast they grow but they grow pretty big. I also agree with Taylor that white bark trees are really pretty.
Birch trees don’t really get that huge. They might be thinking of a beech or the plane tree
I gotta say as a long time fan, you're absolutely crushing it the past few months
Love it! As someone who is also doing renovations (well my husband is) we have two toddlers and an infant I can appreciate the hard work and it feels so good at the end also to share with the family .
Great Video! The passion you have for your family is unmatched!
I love watching you guys! Great example of how a relationship and family should work!! You rock!! And you always include your family. That's awesome 🤩
The colors you used on the front of your home are fantastic! Love the patio makeover. Congratulations on baby #4, God has certainly blessed your sweet family.
LOVE that the front patio is for community. Wonderful.
We need more front patios in our country. The sense of community is vital. You did a great job
Love what he said about having the fire pit in the front for a sense of community. Beautiful job, beautiful family.

It's always a good day when you see a new video from the Dude Dad. Loads of fun with every one. 🤗🤗
This is crazy. I remember when they 1st moved in. Total transformation. He is so talented and creative. I love this. Congrats! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I have a similar birch in my front yard garden, planted about 7 years ago. It looks awesome.
Birch trees are the best trees
I’m so excited y’all got butterfly bushes! And they might even stay alive for you in Colorado. I tried so hard to grow them but Houston is way too hot. They smell amazing. Your patio came out beautifully. Great job, can’t wait to see the back.
Butterfly bushes are the best.
Wow, it looks great! So much better than the "No Man's Land" hill that was there before. Completely changed the look and feel of your home. Nice job! I'm sure the neighbors love it, too.
Awesome idea for gathering and sharing with neighbors!!!
I enjoyed this video so much ! Thanks you guys ! The finished product is just Awesome ! Spending time with your neighbors ,WOW that is something you don't hear much of any more. ☹️ And Congratulations on the new little one !!! ♥️😄 I hope you all have Some Great times with your patio and your friends , neighbors and of course YOUR FAMILIES !!! ♥️☺️💝
Wow! What a transformation! You guys need your own DIY show! You bring a whole fresh concept to home renovation😃😂
I love your channel 🙌🏽🤗
Glad you didn't get the birch tree(s). I was told that they needed to be planted in clumps to be pleasing to the eyes and to grow correctly. Also, some are prone to the same problems that are plaguing the Aspens.
Looks beautiful!
Wow! That turned out great. I did not know peaches could grow in Colorado. Love the butterfly feeding plants. You guys are so nice to your neighbors 😊
Some of the best peaches you’ll ever eat come from Palisade Colorado! Western Slope all day!!!!!!
Lafayette, CO has a peach festival every year to celebrate the Palisade peach harvest!
Thanks for that info! Learn something new everyday!😊
Best wishes Taylor and Heidi on your pregnancy! Heidi you are a rock star ⭐️
Inviting the neighbors over is the mid west way. Love it. Great job.
I love you guys. Such a sweet family and community. And very hard working. Just genuine people. Thank you for making me smile! Greetings from Australia xo
Love the message about supporting community … a gathering place like a fire pit is a great way to start
Awesome front yard.. love you guys.. Taylor u are so funny, I laugh at ev upload... Thank you for sharing your family with us..
thanks for following along!
Great to watch the kids play with friends. You will definately be the yard that parents gather at! Good job!
LOVE IT . . . IT CAME OUT FANTABULOUS!
Loved it! lol 'be a man, use your back!' classic.Thank you!
Everything looks great. Nice plant and tree choices, too. But I really loved that you got Israel shoes. That was VERY special!
Those looked like really good boots that will last quite awhile be great work books.
@@Nirrrina I agree.. not just some cheap shoes that would fall apart
You kids did a great job on your front yard, Also having your friends over for s’mores, in my neighborhood I couldn’t have lawn furniture sitting outside, some one would borrow it forever, nice to see honest people
A firepit is about community. ❤❤❤ Also, love suburban fruit trees. We need more of that too!
I love the idea of a firepit and patio in the front! Thanks fo the idea!!!
So excited for you.....glad you help in the making of things
I'm more of a backyard kind of person, but it looks beautiful. I'm sure that your community will enjoy it. 🤗.
That looks so nice!!! Wow!!! And the butterfly 🦋 was so beautiful 🦋☀️
Happy Labor Day Dude Dad Family ! 😇😇😇
This is stunning! One of your best projects to date. And that is saying something. Bonus points for putting drip lines in Mama’s flower boxes. 🙌
Love everything about it - congrats on everything! 💙
Looks awesome you guys! The idea of community behind your vision is awesome! Wish more thought the same.
What a hospitable space! Enjoy the fellowship!
Great job! We have fire pit coffee on our driveway on Saturday mornings December to April. Bring your chair(or not), people riding by on bikes, walking dogs, everyone welcome!
Front yard living is so inviting.❤✌👍
So excited for the back. You both have created must see Video's. Love it, this was an amazing makeover. Biscuts Blessings!! 🙏🏽
I love the front patio!! And the philosophy why you did it. Great for the kids too!
Giving him a pair of boots was probably the nicest thing I've seen in months, god bless
I am so thrilled for your family, friends and neighbours! Beautifully done. Kindest from Vancouver Island, Canada :)
Bosch and Georgia Boot, not sponsors... yet. This transformation is just so amazing! Great job!
Looks great!!! Can’t wait to see the back!
My 12 year old is dying for a koi pond! He's been digging a spot out since spring. I keep telling the hubby let's just rent equipment and get this thing going and he says do you know how much work goes into landscaping? Soooo can't let him see this video! Looks great I love a place in the front to watch the kids ride bikes and chalk the driveway.
What a beautiful job. Your home and family are beautiful
Beautiful! I love it! Wish I had a front yard like yours! Your kids soooo cute!
Love love love the front patio idea!! It looks amazing! Great job to everyone 👏👏

That’s why I love you two so much ❤
I enjoy(love) Taylor’s(dude dad) videos 100/10
Love that garden center!!!! 🙌
Congratulations on your fourth baby on the way! Y’all are great examples of how to live and your kids are fortunate.
Edit: I just saw the end and in my day as a kid the street was covered in kids and front lawn were adults chit chatting before dinner. Looks like you’re well on the way to restoring that tradition in your immediate surroundings. Everyone can imagine that becoming a trend again. I love it!
Wow! What a difference. I love that.
I love watching you guys so much!
Very impressive! Great job, you will really enjoy your new patio! 👍
So fun having neighbors over and watching the kiddos play out front.
Looks great guys! I love the idea of the patio being an inviting space. I'd love to hang out there.
Ya'll are awesome, putting a get together spot in the front yard. i can't say I would have done the same but good for you guys!
Great philosophy at the end, too
ANOTHER BABBYYYY!!!!?!? Omg I’m so excited!!!!
Aww...I luv that you gifted him shoes!
Heidi, you look beautiful and I hope you’re feeling well! Our neighbors did a beautiful patio in their front yard and it has been awesome for block parties and 4th of July festivities. We are hoping to do the same!
My wife and I love your videos man! Congratulations on the new baby and great job on the front yard remodel enjoy!!
