Private Notes
Mike and Marina love entertaining in their beautiful backyard. Unfortunately the deck that came with their house proved that going big isn't always better. Paul and the crew tear out the old and replace it with a new multi-level deck. With space for lounging, BBQing, a huge eating area, circular fire pit space, a circular hot tub, a cedar lined three-season room and a seamless transition to the yard, the party is about to get started.
Laura-Lea and Geoff have a deck that's rotting and has to go. It's so bad they'd, rather their two boys played in the front yard then out on the deck. Paul's team enters and gives them exactly what they want - a family friendly deck that has space for children to play and a space for mom and dadto relax at the end of a long day. With spots for lounging, bbqing, dining and two sets of stairs leading into the yard you have a space this family will love for years to come. The final result is spectacular.
Liz and Chris don't know what to do with their large yard now that their kids aren't using it for soccer. Paul has a solution. You build a deck with a huge lounge area for mom and dad, of course. In this fun episode Paul and the gang build a cozy deck space with a lounge as a central focus. With a covered area for grilling, a dining area, bar and private lounge, Liz and Chris now have a backyard that's gone from all about soccer to all over stunning.
Danielle and Lyle survived a devastating house fire that took the back of their house and deck. Thankfully no one was hurt. To erase the past, Paul sets out to transform the backyard and create a brand-new deck that's calming, elegant and big enough for a party. The new deck design includes a bbq area with a built-in bar, a hot tub with a gazebo roof and room for a huge dining table. From now on this deck will generate nothing but happy memories.
Prashanth and Neerajah have a unique reason for wanting to transform their neglected backyard: they want to use it for their wedding reception. The problem is...it's a little overgrown. OK a lot overgrown. But this busy young couple knows what they need: a low maintenance space without a blade of grass in sight. Using an exotic hardwood called red balau Paul and his team say "I do" and transform an unloved space into the most adored spot in the property. And after never having to cut grass again they lived happily ever.
Brian and Tanya have a unique request: they want a two-tiered deck to enjoy their backyard, but they want it designed around their family’s winter hockey rink spot. Challenge accepted. Paul takes advantage of this tricky backyard and creates an upper deck with a screened in family room and a lower deck with a hot tub, bar and lounge, centered around the hockey rink space so parents can watch their kids play…except Paul isn’t a big fan of waiting for the winter. Apparently there is a way to have your deck and play hockey too.
Raun and Jasprit love travelling and want a deck to transport them to their favourite getaway. They have an ambitious plan to have their townhouse deck feel like a beach club in Miami or St. Tropez. Paul loves the challenge and creates a downtown deck unlike anything he’s tried before. Using whites, grays, retractable awnings and stainless steel privacy screens, Paul builds a deck and cabana that has this young couple feeling the ocean breeze outside their back patio door.
Samantha and David want something different, and want Paul to be as creative with their backyard as possible. Little do they know what that means. Paul and the team break new ground with this design. In this episode we see a backyard transformed with steel beams, ponds, elevated deck spaces and a suspended steel rod bridge that joins them all together. Did we mention there are three gas fire features as well? Different and daring, this is one transformation you don't want to miss.
Lori and Ross had an upper level deck that fell down a couple of years ago. Now they pretty much avoid their backyard. This couple loves funky and wants a space that's peaceful and different. Pretty much the opposite of what they have now. Paul and the team decide to take all of the square angles out of the yard with circles and curves. And build a pergola. But there are pergolas and then there are intricate circular pergolas with cedar slats and steel wire suspension. The pergola is spectacular. Throw in a three-season room, curved staircase, fire pit lounge and bbq area. This is a backyard they'll never want to leave.
Kevin and Pauline's large yard is a blank slate...and they want to use the entire slate. In this episode we see an incredible transformation. Paul and the crew battle rain, mud and a million details. Jeff takes every square inch of space without a deck and incorporates stone pavers and stone steps. The end result is a private oasis with a full outdoor kitchen, granite topped bars, a pool with waterfalls, pergolas and an enclosed cabana. Spectacular.
Jim and Sofia recently sold their family cottage. This retired couple loves the outdoors and wants a contemporary backyard space that feels like a cottage escape. This episode proves that small is mighty. Paul and the team give this small yard the full treatment and create three distinct deck spaces with intricate angled pergolas, a canvas awning, metal privacy screens and a built-in bbq spot with counters...oh, and a path leading to a stone pad fire pit area with a gorgeous privacy screen. Who needs to sit in weekend traffic?
Margaret and Dan have a large private backyard they love. The problem is they have no way to get to it from their current deck. The challenge: how do you get from a top deck to a bottom deck without having stairs taking up valuable space? Answer: a spiral staircase. Paul and the team come into this project inspired and build an incredible space that includes an upper deck with a metal spiral staircase leading to a lower deck with a hot tub area (with a motorized gazebo-like cover), bar and lounge, which then leads to a circular aerial structure with a circular stone pad beneath. Now that they can get to their yard, they'll never want to leave.
Silvina and Andrew are a tonne of fun. This couple loves to be different and different is what they're going to get. When you ask Paul to build you a space that feels like you're in the Caribbean...he's going to take that to heart. In this episode Paul and the gang take a boring townhouse backyard and turn it into a resort. Docks inspire the deck spaces: there's a tiki bar, a lounge area with a thatched cabana roof, turned cedar piers and bamboo...everywhere. Paul took a big chance on this one. And the results are simply amazing.
Sam and Irene have a small backyard but big ideas. This couple loves to entertain and frequently throw large dinner parties. They have two young boys but with a park nearby they want their deck to be all about entertaining. Paul and the team build an elegant deck, featuring a large dining area as the central focus with a huge gorgeous decorative pergola overhead and a built-in bench along one side. Exotic hardwood gives the deck space a sophisticated feel. And the kids even get their own table too. Bon appetit!
