I love how happy those kids are to see construction going on 😂

[@kara_sergey_organic_farm]

you guys are great! the "tractor" and "dirt" signs with kids cheering was so funny! :)))

[@kymrich9918]

I love these bold transformations! So great to reimagine what a backyard is

[@dawnwesterbeck346]

Kennedy, you should be extremely happy that that worked out! Best one yet

[@jekku4688]

Salad bowls....yellow panels...orange and blue chairs. BRILLIANT. Would LOVE to get my hands on some of those panels for the interior too!

[@patriciablodget2078]

Red,yellow,blue&green!!!!

[@littledotti6808]

Wow, really love this transformation. Fav so far.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Well done, Kennedy.

[@1_viewer]

Cool. Someday someone living there will probably decide to remove the concrete for a change and that will be lots of work. :-)

[@svietka202]

absolutely mind blowing! those panels r epic and i m totally stealing salad bowl idea

[@tizianabelotti7957]

Come and do my garden too!!! It desperately needs an upgrade!! Lovely to watch what they do!!

[@frenchweewee4444]

Same here!

[@janelane1912]

I love this modern design. Reminds me of the minneapolis sculpture garden and the walker art center entrance.

[@fedupwelsh7211]

I would love this garden. What a fabulous design.

[@Eva-ml6qr]

Your background music gave me a headache!! But the design is terrific!! !!

[@flinryder7119]

Gorgeous but I couldn’t cope with the one red chair lol

[@roxannesykes415]

No thanks to concrete yard. But i dont live in city either. I own 17acres of woods on a riverway in Missouri.

[@adecuire6601]

I would love for them to do something with my backyard here in the states. My yard is extremely large and in need of a mass makeover. The cost though...

[@paulinerungurua4543]

Bold and beautiful

[@katrinamenio3230]

Fab design Kennedy

[@multi-talentedeverydaylife9560]

Beautiful

[@130crowd]

Don’t know where this is, but won’t that cement hardscape get 🔥 hot in all that full sun?

[@jwilliams8931]

Toronto

[@frenchweewee4444]

I would love to know the cost of these projects.

[@p4ul1010]

ME TOO 😩

[@pejisan]

I feel they could have used that walkway past the dining tables for something for the kids.

[@ndmpineda]

[@deesott5123]

Jesus loves you and died for our sins amen beautiful day to serve the Lord Jesus 💜💕💜

[@M.Campbell]

These guys sure do love ornamental pears and other than being cheap they have few redeeming qualities. I don't understand that.

[@litocarandang4514]

it is a TALK SHOW not designing garden from start to finish................

[@lisakilmer2667]

Completely baffling design. Kids' play area is behind a garage and behind colored panels. Why didn't they raise the grade along the full width of the yard? Why not raise the grade with soil? Isn't the lower part of the yard going to flood now that there's so much concrete above it? Why leave the garage in such an awkward spot? They could easily have replaced it with a corner shed, and they had the money for 8, $400 chairs so money wasn't the issue.

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

Modern is the worst word to use for design because it age like bread, people think it’s cool lol

[@jeanetejostcollet3111]

People don’t learn! Maybe in the next century... why you need a garage for storage? When you need to store something is because you no longer need it. Avoid buying stuff that you will get rid of shortly. Think first ! Buy less! That garage would be a nice indoor area for the kids instead of storage area.

[@mocztenora]

My thoughts exactly. If you have so much stuff, you hide it away from yourself until you even can't remember what you own, that is a sign to declutter.

[@elizabethcastillo1158]

Some people store their winter sports equipment in summer and then switch to their summer gear in summer. It's not always about extra. Lawn tools need a home too.

[@jwilliams8931]

@@elizabethcastillo1158 agree, could be storing anything in there like bikes, lawn mower, patio furniture etc.
