America's Most Desperate Landscape 2012: After

More than 250 new plantings, a new turf lawn, and a reworked walkway and front facade help soften the street view and transform the Stochmal's residence into one of the neighborhood's more visually appealing homes.

No Place to Play

The backyard is no place for the Riefenberg's dogs Sonny and Cooper to run around. Large boulders are scattered throughout the yard.

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.

Gorgeous Stone Fireplace

The new fireplace area features plenty of cozy seating and a rustic wooden coffee table.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2009: After

The new driveway is composed of Belgrade pavers, in a color that complements the house's new paint job.

Major Curb Appeal

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

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.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2011: Fountain After

The new stone patio looks like it belongs to a fancy estate house. The fountain, ornamental plantings and new patio furniture would make a great setting for formal entertaining or a relaxing evening outside.

Stunning Twilight Patio

The new patio pops at sunset with new bistro lights and a roaring fire in the outdoor fireplace.

Inviting New Walkway

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

Driveway or Creek?

The driveway pools water when it rains which, for central Georgia, could mean mosquito breeding ground. Plus the muddy water isn't helping the Riefenberg's curb appeal.

Rocky Start

In addition to other eye sores in the front yard, huge rock boulders block views from the front door.

Curb Appeal: Landscaping and Sidewalks

A well-laid, landscaped walkway leads from the driveway to the house.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2011: Park-like

The weeds are gone and a new walkway has been laid to guide visitors up to the house. The canopy of tall trees shades the landscape and walkway in this park-like setting.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2009: Corner Transformation

Transform that eye sore, aka a red fire hydrant, into a statement piece for your curb appeal instead of ignoring the curb all together! A well manicured yard helps maintain value in the home.

No Grass Here

The Riefenberg's yard is missing one typical feature: grass. The yard has turned into a small dust bowl.
