I love catching a glimpse of the designer's personal back yards. After the overwhelming feelings of jealousy by looking at the finished product of the show, I can feel somehwat mollified that my yard looks better than than the actual yards of the people who create such magic!

[@akashmukhopadhyay7992]

Very enjoyable, Kennedy's baby is an angel.

[@soniatriana9091]

Beautiful design! But the opening scene, with his baby son is the best part!! To see a professional young father show up to a prospective clients’ job site with his baby speaks volumes about this young man’s dedication to both his family & career! Well done!👍🏼🤗👏🏼

[@jhutch1681]

Not sure why everyone carries the baby in an awkward 'bucket' instead of just carrying a cuddly baby!

[@LAL0216]

Dirty Business: you're brilliant! Wish you were in the States where I live. I feel badly for Elaine's husband. The black behind the screen was NOT loud. Her interior needs some color. I feel for all of you having to work with such restrictions. Sorry, very cowardly of her not having direct communication with you. Yes, the outcome is extraordinary, just beautiful like all you do. Looking forward to more videos for 2021 and beyond.

[@janiceingle2131]

It would be helpful to know the cost of all their make overs.

[@terribleq]

I love watching your videos! Thank you for being yourselves and for showing your personalities. You're at work and having fun at the same time. I love gardening but I'm also watching for the camaraderie. You're all great designers and I found myself wishing the client would trust your judgement; but you handled everything so well and with so much patience. Go Kennedy!! Also, the theme song fits. It makes me smile and think of you all getting along and being so accepting of everyone. I love it!

[@svietka202]

the flooring is stunning

[@shirleysenkler781]

Love the wood bench.

[@mikegardens]

Would be nice to have different stylists. Not a big fan of the furniture the stylist picks to finish the gardens. When she's shopping I get excited anticipating what it's going to look like. When they reveal the final garden, the furniture stands out but not always in the best way.

[@GlaciaDaze13]

hahha was not expecting a full moon!

[@savinaliu5149]

What is the budget for this project, please? The size is similar to mine

[@ginacrusco234]

I find the design just beautiful. I'm particularly struck by the screen in front of the shed, such a great idea that I'd like to mimic it in our (much smaller) yard. I could have lived without the "wearing the pants" jokes.

[@minime7375]

Do they ever stain the wood elements?

[@janetbecker4282]

Client didn't orange red,or yellow, they forgot to tell the furniture designer.

[@patriciasumic1517]

Do you ever use aquascape ponds for your clients

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Dirty Business is the s***. TY.

[@ruththomas1652]

The client said blues and purples, and all I saw was red. Those stripes on the chairs should have been cobalt or at least navy. Oh well.

[@atanleejr]

I love the videos and the designs, I think you need to change the stylist, in many of the videos the elements are awkward and look too much like indoor decorations.

[@maheswaran25]

What is the make and model of the pond pump you are using the water?

[@jeanneomeara4512]

The screen was amazing

[@claudiaceleste777]

The lady of the house was annoying me until I heard the flower colour she wanted - makes more sense for a shaded garden

[@kathleengarness1660]

I agree - yellows are much more frequent in sunny areas and on wooded edges.

[@davidcattin7006]

Stunning - knocked it out of the park! The black shed was better, but the wife wins ;o) Wonder what she thought of the result... Also, what did this cost?

[@victoriamilonas1942]

"A water feature to calm us down", he said completely deadpan. As Bugs would say "It is to laugh."

[@justcommonsenzeyo8569]

Your gardens are always wonderful , creative and natural.....just great teamwork guys !!! But seriously the furnitures are most of the time off, doesn't really fit with your garden style or caliber . Like here, if they had green strips or just green materials?? They are always so bulky. The coffee corner should have had a flat service, etc.....but hey that's just me. Maybe show it finished without furniture sometimes? and then the furniture at the end.

[@robynwilliams8110]

For crying out loud .... client rejects red and yellow tones in planting .... she asks for white, pink, mauve. Can they do that. No! WTH .... so much red and yellow in the final product. Maybe the red stripe cushions and orange yellow floral arrangements were just for the filming, but if not, they would be out of there pretty fast. A nice soft green cushion covering would have been sympathetic. Somehow a lot of yellow also seemed to have crept into the planting. As a person almost allergic to the yellow/orange/brown palette I feel for her!

[@row1landr]

Is this company in America? Do they fly all over the country to help people? Do they only help homeowners in their state/city?

[@robynwilliams8110]

Canadian I think, Toronto based.

[@pinacolada111]

Plastic furniture does not go well with their dream courtyard... 😗

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Actually, I would have preferred a larger deck off the entrance.

[@aprilm9551]

I've now watched about 10-12 garden makeover videos by 'Dirty Business'. As far as I can tell, they never do curved lines for any hardscape. All squares/rectangles works in very modern settings, but not so much when the house has some traditional elements. Also, they seem to stick screens where maybe some plants might be better, such as the screen to the side of the patio just off the house. I don't like it at all. And, the patio is too small for any kind of table. I don't think there should be anything blocking the traffic from the doors. Put a table and chairs (even if small) in front of a door, and it is just wrong. Better to have made the patio a little wider and put the table and chairs off to the side of the doors, or just don't put that extra little bit of furniture. And early in the video when the designer was considering all yellow flowering plants, I thought this was wrong. I'm glad the wife said she wanted blues, purples, and white. The two 'loveseats' facing each other is wierd. I like them each separately as furniture, but like that it just strange. I think it would be better to have just one, with the back facing the wall, have a small 'coffee table', and maybe 2 chairs or a bench out in the courtyard facing these. A better look, like a little living room setting.

[@jaymepittroff]

Try this one...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKjHg4h5n7eVe7c

[@robynwilliams8110]

The first couple I watched had some curves - down the centre, not around the edges - they always straighten them. I much preferred the ones with curves, but depends on client I think. Sometimes the client really doesn't want a garden - just an outdoor room.

[@Eva-ml6qr]

Ok guys, you're all spectacular!! But the music has got to go! Listen to the music on Garden Answer for inspiration. Truly, it's getting annoying. Too loud, too brassy, too much. Doesn't work. I would rather listen to you guys!

[@Man_hansa]

This is very old show

[@patriciasumic1517]

I disagree with water features being high maintenance because aquascape ponds are self sufficient check them out

[@raquelkthomas]

Duncan is a cutie ☺️

[@jackado9848]

How frustrating Elaine if you didnt want to share ideas at the beginning of planning and then through out the project after drawings and planning happen i would have drop this client. Ugh aweful woman

[@izzyzon4975]

Stopped watching as the music is so dominant I couldn't hear what was said. Shame!

[@overthecounterbeanie]

That water feature feels way too loud and intrusive.

[@frankstein9004]

The homeowner should tell his wife where to go

[@jhutch1681]

Or thank her...

[@garycarr8326]

Really digging this show... but the theme song is horrible... sounds like a whiney 90's band.... really bad...lol

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

The water is too loud

[@hollyhold562]

Elaine is hypertensive. Easily overstimulated. We're just wired the way we're wired.

[@antonianovoa6416]

James needs sun.....just saying....

[@bebec618]

I love the design, but feel that there are too much plants and tree in such small garden. Less is more!

[@pcbrightlights3733]

Grown man mooning? Really?

[@lorettagerull6340]

The fly infested, maggot infested mouse was absolutely not necessary. That was disgusting 🤮

[@shannonliambotis7471]

Murder monster

[@lorettagerull6340]

Are you serious? Did your employee just flash us his bare butt? And how is it that when a Woman wears pants she is the Man in the family. Are you saying that the husband is wearing a skirt? Maybe she earns more money and is the one paying you guys.

[@pcbrightlights3733]

Agree. Talk about sexist stereotypes. And also, guys, the client is ALWAYS right!

[@aprilm9551]

Yes, the mooning was disgusting. If that really happens in the office, well that's your business, but don't show us! This is a bunch of guys who like playing together, OK we get that. But maybe they've lost sight of what's appropriate to show the world. And yes, the talk was sexist. Obviously it will take the world a while to learn a different view.

[@julianursten6399]

Aaah, get a grip people.
