South African Makeover

The Outdoor Room • Season 2 • Episode 12

About this episode

Charles and Jennifer of Northridge, California; have a dilapidated backyard, which they attempt to use for multiple family functions. In addition, the yard is heavily exposed to sunlight in the dry weather months, thus hindering the homeowners from the desire of having a low-maintenance garden. Jamie takes it upon himself to use a recent trip to South Africa as inspiration to build Charles and Jennifer a new Outdoor Room. Red colored rock is applied to a level-changing wall with beautiful, drought tolerant plants. Tall, savannah-like grass fills in several opened spaces throughout the yard. And most importantly, a screened-in bathtub, kitchen and lounge are all adhered to this South African inspired Outdoor Room.
