For this home-exterior transformation, Desperate Landscapes heads out to Mound Avenue to help Louise Hausman, an art teacher with an eye for beauty and a desire to fix up her front yard. She lives in a neighborhood of beautiful Victorian homes with great yards, but her yard doesn't stack up. From the boring front door to overgrown shrubs, Louise's yard and home exterior need some serious help. That's where DIY's Jason Cameron comes in. He's bringing paint, plants and plenty of materials to fix this desperate landscape.
