Matt takes the podcast outdoors (only metaphorically) to delve into landscaping with Sara Bendrick, a top California-based contractor. Together, they explore the vital link between builders and landscapers, trends like drought-tolerant lawns, and the rise of battery-powered tools.

Matt and Sara focus on the shift towards reducing traditional lawns in favor of drought-tolerant alternatives, concerns about the environmental impact of artificial turf, and emerging trends in landscaping technology, particularly the adoption of battery-powered equipment. 

Sara highlights the importance of balancing personal lifestyle choices with environmental considerations and offers insights into how landscaping trends often start on the coasts and gradually spread across the country.
