We Don't Want Our Swimming Pool & Hot tub Anymore! | Dirty Business (Garden Makeover)

[@Isyss18]

"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.

I wish I could see the plants all grown up to their mature state and how it would have looked in one year or so.

[@mrboxy3970]

I want followup vids 1-3 years down the line so much.

[@carriemiddleditch9795]

This series is my roman empire.

[@130crowd]

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]

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.

[@kimberly8185]

These gardens are gorgeous 😍 however I can't help but feel a little sad that the kiddos don't have any grass to play in.

[@2jesusIbelong]

Ya, they could do a patch of groundcover like moss so their child has a soft place to play.. All stone is too much for me.

[@aloevera7422]

grass is so last century

[@jhutch1681]

@@aloevera7422 grass, green space, potato, potah-to... I know the client wanted low maintenance, but is weeding and trimming easier than grass cutting?

[@Ahomesteadersdream]

Very nice rebuild! All about serving the needs of the individual family that lives there... great job - except where is the child even a consideration in this yard?

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

She will grow old anyway

[@LoganMunchkinVideos]

Nope. Even the parents said it is a grown up yard because they (the adults) grew up. This is a nice yard for empty nester.

[@hopemartinez837]

I really injoyed this ! Everyone has a good sense of humor 🤣

[@saima291]

I keep thinking about the rain they should have sheltered the barbecue and seating area

[@tshedondolma398]

Love love love your designs. I wish you would revisit some your projects to see how they look now.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

this is such a timeless backyard compared to some other ones they've done. Lisa really stepped up. I remember the comment section ripping her for the orange plastic "drums" lol XD i'm dying just typing this. but yeah. this was very Noice!

[@ms.one-town901]

Huge undertaking. They did a fabulous job. I absolutely love it and the guy’s interactions makes for a fun watch.

[@caraalex7880]

Hope there is storage under that deck for all that furniture. Looks awesome.

[@julieh.9826]

The guys were fun and the design was pretty incredible. Except I question the birch tree planted so close to the deck. That will be a problem down the road. Side note, the little girl was precious.

[@akashmukhopadhyay7992]

Yes she was Julie, made my heart sing

[@kariejennings4497]

Glad to see that they are not afraid to make it their own, make it usable for them. Because otherwise what's the point?

[@cindythomas5895]

Love this show

[@akashmukhopadhyay7992]

Always an enjoyable episode

[@monicamestas7566]

I like most of your landscape remodels, though arbors/pergolas/rooms are nothing special. It would be good to know the costs for each reno.

[@caradiamond4462]

I can’t deal with that intro 😂

[@kebert2thumbsup]

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!

[@kariejennings4497]

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. 😊

[@wyericc]

How much would this whole project cost?

[@elsacampos922]

How do I abide these guys. I live in South Texas

[@sharonwebb945]

What fabric do you use for curtains to withstand outdoor use?

[@popazz1]

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.

[@jhutch1681]

shower curtains?

[@jhutch1681]

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...

[@LoganMunchkinVideos]

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.

[@lv4bway]

Love everything except those white drapes...

[@judylloyd7901]

I love the drapes! They're semi-sheer so they soften the very square angles of the structure and the whole garden.

[@FigaroHey]

Isn't it a bit weird to stand on the deck and be looking at the 'roof' of the lower dining area?

[@jhutch1681]

vines on top might help...

[@victoriamilonas1942]

Only in Canada - big insult division - " You were dropped as a child."

[@Nottherebutthere]

Honestly, your arbors drag down your designs. If you are going to the trouble of putting them up, why not make them with more style?

[@veronicaarellano-hernandez2209]

🏖🏡

[@cynthiacorbett9804]

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.

[@carolharris3668]

No place for the child to play

[@lilspiderlily]

Yeah, I'm surprised they don't even consider her into the design. They could at least put in a swing.

[@serenakoleno9338]

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?

[@judyfenske1429]

From the comments this seems to be a beginning episode, where everyone is learning how to make nice areas and have not quite made it.

[@popazz1]

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.

[@jhutch1681]

How can white be 'fade-proof'?

[@jimmyatLV1]

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...

[@jhutch1681]

Some might see the pool as a danger for a wee one. I might have just moved to a house with a safer or more child friendly yard and saved the big landscaping expense.

[@geraldinesera8915]

I'm 2/3 thru this video. I repeatedly see a 2 yr old thru the glass doors. I haven't seen a single moment by the staff or the parents if building a backyard that also caters to the child. TRULY DISAPPOINTED!!! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!!!

[@jwilliams8931]

I am a little surprised as well, not even a kiddie area for her to garden. But I think the parents were providing the direction and at least it’s safer now.

[@monicamestas7566]

I enjoy the show but could do without all the childish male genitalia jokes. Kennedy, you have class. Get your boys in line.

[@sexyfatbastid]

Probably why the show was canceled.

[@jackado9848]

James like to take others work and and words and phrases and pretend like he had saif that all along or from the begining. He gets buy with his crude jokes and his collegue laugh so that what makes him acceptable to the herd. Yet not impressive. Very narcissistic.
