America's Most Desperate Landscape 2012: After

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2012: Screen Porch

In a first for Desperate Landscapes, this home makeover includes the addition of a screened porch where the distressed side entrance had been. All-new landscaping surrounds the porch addition. Adding the new porch required demolishing the damaged brick stairs that previously led to the side door.

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.

America's Most Desperate Landscape 2012: Front Walkway After

The Stochmal's house, built some 50 years earlier by Cas Stochmal's father, gets reinvigorated with a well-deserved upgrade. As a tribute to the home's history and the care that went into the structure years before, a section at the top and center of the new walkway is fashioned from bricks that were part of the home's original hand-laid brick walk. Cas' cherished stone lions were also preserved and incorporated into the newly designed front entrance.

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.

No Grass Here

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

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.

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.

Is That Our Satellite?

The roof features multiple satellite dishes, but only one is in use.

Beaded Napkin Rings

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