Backyard Builds (2017 - 2021)

Debbie, Kevin, and their three children are a newly-blended family. There has been a lot of change lately, including a new house and school for the kids. To bring this new family together, Brian and Sarah build an irresistible treehouse village in their backyard.

Tina is a professional chef and amateur cake decorator. She and her husband, Patrick, have two young boys and a home that is overrun with both baking supplies and soccer equipment. To extend this family’s living space, Brian and Sarah turn their backyard into one part cake decorating studio and one part soccer field.

Craig and Claudia are new homeowners living in a space crunch. They share their new space with Craig’s brother, Craig’s parents – and their two massive dogs. To give these new homeowners a place of their own, Brian and Sarah build a sports bar and entertainment hangout in their backyard.

Ali and Hana have two very talented young children – and a very noisy and crowded house. Their son, Mateja, is a budding drummer, while their daughter, Mila, enjoys everything from tap dancing to violin. To give everyone in this family their own space, Brian and Sarah turn an old garage into a kids’ music and arts hangout.

Miriam and Mark are busy parents to four kids under 10 years old. She’s in school studying nursing, while he works two jobs. To help these hardworking parents unwind, Brian and Sarah build them a parents-only hideaway in their backyard.

Jon, Trish, and their two children live in a quintessential family-friendly neighborhood. They fell in love with the spacious backyard when they first bought the house, but 12 years later, it still sits untouched. To give the whole community an outdoor space to enjoy, Brian and Sarah build an outdoor movie theatre in their backyard.

Steve and Tanya are Realtors who just bought their forever home a few doors down from Tanya’s parents. Their new home came complete with their own mini forest in the back. To complete their dream home, Brian and Sarah build a dream cottage retreat in their backyard.
