Fix This Yard was a home renovation show on A&E that premiered in 2010. The show's hosts, Amy Devers, Alan Luxmore, and Kase Ellers, were a team of experienced landscapers and designers who were tasked with transforming rundown outdoor spaces into beautiful backyard retreats. Each episode followed the same basic format: the hosts would meet with a homeowner who was unhappy with their current outdoor living area. After discussing the homeowner's needs and wants, the team would come up with a design plan and get to work transforming the yard over the course of a few days. One thing that set Fix This Yard apart from other home renovation shows was its focus on landscaping. Instead of simply adding a few features like a new patio or grill area, the hosts would often completely overhaul the yard's existing layout, adding in new plants, trees, and other natural features to create a more inviting, relaxing space. The show also aimed to educate viewers on the principles of good landscape design, with the hosts explaining their thought process and techniques as they worked. Viewers could learn about things like using different textures and colors to create visual interest, incorporating natural elements like water features and stone to create a more organic feel, and using plants to define different areas of the yard. Of course, like any renovation show, Fix This Yard wasn't without its challenges. Some of the yards featured on the show were in pretty rough shape, with overgrown vegetation, broken hardscaping, and other issues that needed to be addressed before work on the design could begin. Budget and time constraints also added to the pressure, with the hosts needing to balance their creative vision with practical concerns like staying within the homeowner's budget and completing the project on time. Despite the challenges, the hosts always managed to create beautiful, functional outdoor spaces that left homeowners thrilled. And while the focus was on the transformation of the yard, the show also highlighted the positive impact that a well-designed outdoor space could have on a family's lifestyle. In one episode, for example, the hosts helped create a backyard oasis that brought a family closer together and allowed them to spend more time outdoors. Overall, Fix This Yard was a feel-good, informative home renovation show that provided viewers with inspiration for transforming their own outdoor spaces. With its focus on landscaping and outdoor design, it was a refreshing alternative to the typical home renovation shows that tend to focus on interior design. While it was short-lived, only airing for two seasons, it remains a beloved favorite of many who enjoy watching shows showcasing home and yard transformations.
