    I don't understand why people don't use their pools! If I had a pool, I'd use it EVERY day!....except the winter because COLD!

      I'd put a pool in under a greenhouse with accordion doors all around so I could use it all year. And salt water pool. 😊

    "They have just increase the value of their home by taking the swimming pool out"....those words would never be spoken here in sunny South Florida. Mostly all my neighbors have pools and love it.
    My cousin friend has a pool that she never uses anymore but she refuse to get rid of it. She says she enjoys just looking at it when she sits out in her backyard and just by looking at the water itself it's very therapeutic and relaxes her.

      My guess is that she plays at daycare and there's a nearby park. If they work long hours she probably eats, bathes and goes to sleep. They can always add plastic play structures and kiddie pool. Put a fort under the deck?

  • @cynthiacorbett9804
    @cynthiacorbett9804 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Your designs can be innovative and very cool. But the continual use of a square nude pergola and certain plants is already quite redundant for me just watching the videos. BTW, the designer that chooses accessories lacks skill and experience. Her choices are painfully redundant and void of any client taste study. Just saying. I have spent a lifetime designing. I am watching you for motivation for my current oregon 45 degree slope yard project.

    Every rainstorm, grab those cushions, pillows and take the drapes down or you’ll have one giant mildew farm. And mildew looks so great on white canvas. And formal dining outdoors?

    • @mrboxy3970
      @mrboxy3970 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fortunately these are so heavily mildew resistant that it's not a concern. They're designed with that specifically in mind, so no staining, now growth, little to no sunbleaching, anything noticeable won't happen for 5-10 years down the line (seen in humid climates, ocean front, and desert climates, they refuse to be affected.)
      You'll notice wear and tear long before (friction and fray from being touched).

    • @130crowd

      @@mrboxy3970 Unfortunately, mildew 'resistant' is not mildew proof. Sunbrella and wannabes might not fade but they will mildew, and if left in the rain they make a mighty soggy sit.

    Ca-ching$$ I don't know what mad me laugh more - the pool push or the belated discovery of the concrete pad.
    Lol, did the sale of the hot tub cover the cost of the crane?
    Plant sale for charity - way to go!
    Completely different atmosphere? I certainly hope so after all that!
    The eating area feels cramped. Yucky coffee table. Like the plantings against the deck wall.
    A flowering tree would have been much prettier next to the deck.
    Now all they need is a sand box, slide, wading pool, tricycle, and a pile of toys...

    I feel sorry for the kid and her now missing killer whale floating. Usually I love their yards but the parents didn't even put in a replacement play area for their own child. She gets to sit on the white cushions and be sure to not get them dirty.

    Enough with the intrusive 'background' music! Especially the drum track. Not overly impressed with this garden tbh. Fine for a childless couple, and definitely prohibitive for anyone with mobility issues. Ok, great that the failing retaining wall was remedied and the stone paving was impressive, but the team has got to get more creative with the arbours/pergolas/gazebos. And Lisa the 'designer', lol. Those white seat cushions, they may well be mold resistant but that doesn't mean mold proof! They're going to need covering with waterproof tarps each time there's rainfall. Back to design school, sweetie.

    They removed the pool cuz "we have a young family" yet there is nothing for kids in the after.
    And since when did removing a pool, that's not damaged, increase value? That pool took up such a small footprint and they ended up with that? What a waste! BORING!! Oh and what happened to the whole young family concept? I see nothing but stairs for young kids to fall down and stone surfaces to fall on. Bet the kids miss the pool...
    This episode was a miss...

      There really isn't any (natural) fabric which can withstand continuous outdoor use. Lisa the 'designer' says the fabrics are all resistant to mold .... which doesn't mean mold proof. The home owners are going to find themselves up and down a ladder whenever there's rainfall.

    This reminds me of the History Channel's American Restoration show or the Counting Cars show where it gradually became less about restoring antique items/cars & history & became more about being silly.
    It's almost like you can hear the producers goin', "Look guys,..can ya make it a little more goofy,..we need wild, zany, screwball stuff,...THAT'S what the people want,....and we'll try & fit the landscaping design stuff around it."
