Sad Driveway

The Riefenberg's driveway floods and traps water.

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.

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.

Major Curb Appeal

The new front stoop features furniture, rug and plants that make the walkway more inviting. The new blue door pops against the white house.

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.

After: America's Most Desperate Landscape 2016

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

Is That Our Satellite?

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

The Ultimate Yard for Entertaining

No Grass Here

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

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.

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.
