Backyard Makeover: From Bland To Breezy & Beautiful



See how landscape architect Sam Kleinknecht of SK Design turned a young family’s overgrown outdoor space into an entertaining-friendly oasis. The century home’s walkway, side yard and backyard all got a much-needed facelift, perfect for al fresco dinner parties and playdates. You’ll love the main patio’s lounge area and firepit, spacious dining table and natural flagstone. From boxwoods to fountain grass and hostas, Sam shares all of the plantings she used to create this verdant hideaway. Plus, discover the intimate courtyard at the side of the house outfitted with a BBQ and barstools!

  1. Just one question: what was the budget? As it is inspiring, but probably not aall of us can afford it- sadly. Also it would be nice, to have the items, design elements and sources listed, right?

  2. Wow, it looks amazing 👏. Very welcoming and open. Great job ladies 🦋💜💙

  3. חקי חיון. בבית שלי ברחוב רי''ז 6 תל אביב ישנה כרגע בחצר הקדמית רחבה לבנה כפי בתמונה אולם כאשר אנוכי אשפץ את הבית אזי אנוכי מעצב אחרת את החצר הקדמית ואני מפרק את הרחבה הלבנה הנוכחית.

  4. The monstera near the barbecue at 1:55 is cute staging. But a terrible plant for that much direct sunlight. That plant is going to fry up.

  5. missing some kind of pergola in the backyard….needs some heights…all I see is furniture….and its blah

  6. This is amazing ! I wished you’re in Florida. Love 💕 your work . Start following your channel and you guys are brilliant and what you do.

  7. Wish House & Home indicates the estimated cost for every make-over for your viewers to have the idea. It'll help us to assess some budget should we decided to do the same and of course reach the appropriate designer as well based on your contents. Just saying but hope you'll consider. 🙂

  8. What is the name of the trees in front of the neighbors garage? By the way ….I do love the dining set . And the garden design a mix of modern and traditional.

  9. The backyard is beautiful. I love the outdoor sofa and the fire pit. We also have a diy backyard makeover video, where we show how we installed artificial grass and transform the backyard
