Private Notes
Host Paul Lafrance and his gang are ready to turn one couple's boring backyard into a multi-level dream-deck oasis. Bob and Joanne never use their yard because they think there's nothing back there worth enjoying. Paul's design gives them everything they want and more: multiple levels, a grilling area for Bob and a lounging area for Joanne. Throw in a water feature, and this couple will have the ultimate backyard escape.
Sarah and James have a really awful deck. It's the one that came with their new house, and so far, the space has been pretty useless. Paul and the crew take on this challenge and build an unbelievably gorgeous elevated deck. They battle the rain and the heat in the process, but the team comes out on top in the end. Sarah's new deck - and her cozy cottage on the deck - is enough to make anyone's life complete.
How big is too big? No such thing. This time Paul designs and builds a deck for Ken and Kathy that's bigger than any deck ought to be - 4,500 square feet of outdoor luxury. Throw in a saltwater pool, one hot tub, two cabanas, three gazebos and a stone grill area, and you'll never look at your own deck the same way again.
Leif and Sarah have a small baby and a small budget - but they've got a big yard and big dreams for an oasis in the back. Paul's design skills are put to the test: how to make something that is challenging from a design and construction perspective while sticking with a tighter-than-normal budget. The end result is a deck that is as impressive as it is accessible.
Steve and Debbie have a nice but rarely used backyard. Paul and the team are about to transform this underutilized space into a magnificent, multi-function outdoor den of relaxation. There's a lounging area, a covered grilling area, a bar area and an enclosed eating area. This couple might not use their backyard now, but when Paul is done, they'll rarely want to go inside.
Kendall and Crystal have a beautiful house and a beautiful view from their backyard. Problem is, they have a tiny and impractical deck. It's so small even their grill won't fit on it. Paul and the gang are going to rip the old deck out and replace it with an impressive multi-level work of art. And to top it off, they're installing a sunken hot tub.
Andrew and Shirley built their dream home. But their plans and their work ended at the back door. Enter Paul and the crew, who are coming in to completely transform the empty backyard. There will be curves, there will be shade from the sun, a hot tub and even a changing room. And did we mention the sandbox?
Heather and Luke are nice people, but their backyard is an eyesore. This time, Paul is going to achieve one of his greatest transformations - turning a boring bowling alley backyard into multi-area, multi-purpose oasis. There's a deck, there's a pergola, there's a shed. It's a beautiful transformation that even takes Paul by surprise.
Kim and Brad just spent a lot of time and money laying down stone in their backyard. They built a nice sitting pad, but they want more. And they want Paul to design and build whatever "more" means. But there's a catch -- Paul has to keep their stone sitting pad and incorporate it into his design. No problem. He can do that, and he can add a shed. And he can have a water feature competition with Jeff.
David and Brenda have a weird backyard. It's large, but it's also sideways. Right now, only the dog makes regular use of the space. Enter Paul and the crew, who build an amazing deck that includes a bar built into a tree, a grilling area, a sitting area and a smattering of bamboo.
Nimmi and Mani have a house with a picture-perfect view. They have a waterfront property surrounded by fantastic scenery, but they also have an existing deck that's falling apart. So Paul and the gang are coming in to make this extraordinary setting even more breathtaking. Out with the old, in with a three-level, glass railing masterpiece that matches the view.
James and Cindy have a baby, and they also have horses. They own and operate a horse farm and have a wonderful, stately home. But the back of the house is a different story. Paul and his crew are on hand to build a massive elevated deck, complete with a fully enclosed all-season dining room, stone patio and fireplace. Even the horses are going to be jealous.
Jen and Mike have a really cool house and a great backyard, but what they lack is a nice deck. They want Paul to design and build a new one and they want it to be unique. Paul and company are building an amazing deck that actually curves, with circles everywhere and wood that's bent.
