Welcome to Part 1 of our Outdoor Living Series!

This week, Coach Matt dives into outdoor kitchens and structures that transform a yard from “just a landscape” into a true extension of your home. From gas, water, and drainage infrastructure to pergolas, she-sheds, and patio enclosures—discover how to take your DIY landscape to the next level.

These aren’t just add-ons; they’re lifestyle upgrades that boost comfort, socializing, and pride of ownership. Whether you’re a weekend DIYer or thinking about hiring help, this episode will give you ideas and a roadmap for your next project.

👉 Stay tuned for Part 2 where we’ll cover water and lighting features.
