New Retaining Wall and Driveway

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.

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.

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.

Tour the Winning Yard

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

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.

Lush Landscaping

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

Rocky Start

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

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.

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.

DIY: Curb Appeal

A coat of red paint makes the front door stand out, new shutters add dimension to the house, and lots of colorful plants and flowers lead visitors to the entrance. With the yews gone, the landscape opens up, and the new walkway is clearly visible.

Inviting New Walkway

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

Gorgeous Stone Fireplace

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

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.

Pin-Worthy Front Yard

The new front yard for America's Most Desperate Landscape 2016 features a patio with new stone pavers, dining area, bar and grill station.

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.

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.

Meet the Winning Homeowners

Randi and Tim Riefenberg, from Roswell, Ga, are the owners of this year's winning yard for DIY Network's America's Most Desperate Landscape 2016.

Ready to Party Patio

The winning homeowners and their family and friends celebrated a long two days of renovation with a block party cookout at twilight.
