The new patio at AMDL is ready for summer parties with a dining area and bar and grill. Both areas use metal furniture in various styles that tie the areas together.

Patio With Privacy

An outdoor kitchen in the front yard might seem strange but the boulders and trees in the front yard provide total privacy for summer entertaining.

American's Most Desperate Landscape 2012: Driveway View

The transformation includes a completed and newly paved driveway, specially designed stairs with extra-wide 14-inch tread and a completely reconfigured walk-up to the home's front door.

Coastal Bar Decor

Jute rope used on the ice bucket and teal glass vase on the bar top helps tie in the coastal theme from the tablescape.

New Retaining Wall

DIY Network’s Jason Cameron reveals new retaining wall of newly redone slate stone driveway to homeowners Randi and Tim Riefenberg, winners of America’s Most Desperate Landscape 2016.

Desperate Back Yard, Too

Pups Cooper and Sonny have no place to run around a play in the back either. The yard also has a major slope and drop off.

Disaster Deck

The Riefenbergs love to entertain but can't use their deck because it's unstable. One of the posts doesn't touch the ground and is actually resting on another block of wood.

The Ultimate Yard for Entertaining

DIY Network’s Jason Cameron reveals the new frontyard to homeowners Randi and Tim Riefenberg, winners of America’s Most Desperate Landscape 2016.

Inviting New Walkway

Blooming hydrangeas, a new stone path and charming porch decor greet guests on their way to the front door.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2016 is in Roswell, Ga, a community about an hour north of Atlanta.

Stunning Twilight Patio

Beaded Napkin Rings

The tablescape's coastal details continue with printed paisley napkins and beaded napkin rings.

Finished Outdoor Patio

The new patio flows from an outdoor dining area to a bar and grill station to a seating area by the new outdoor fireplace.

Pin-Worthy Outdoor Patio

The new patio is ready for outdoor entertaining with a dining area and bar with grill station.

Photo By: Emilee Ramsier
