SawHorse was invited to participate on the hit show Curb Appeal. This was our first episode with them and it turned out to be one of the more popular episodes of the season. My favorite part is where we recycled the chunks of driveway and created a retaining with them. This saved in landfill costs and materials needed for the retaining wall.
From HGTV’s Curb Appeal page:
Errin Haines recently bought her first house, but unfortunately it is the eyesore of the block. She works around the clock and doesn’t have time to devote to fixing up the front yard. Fortunately, the Curb Appeal team is stepping in and turning the sticks and weeds in her front yard into a gorgeous landscape. In fact, even the mailbox is getting an overhaul. Designer John Gidding’s design plan includes adding a stone patio with seating as well as white washing the existing brick to unify the property. The plan doesn’t end there as John and his team also give smaller makeovers to two of Errin’s neighbors as well. Not only will this unify and inspire the block, but property values will be raised as well, benefiting everyone.
