The #WalkThrew: Is it really a house trend or just hype?

Take on your backyard DIY dreams with some inspiration from the experts, DIY Network’s Yard Crasher Matt Blashaw and the Pretty Handy Girl Brittany Bailey.

We’re getting out and bringing DIY to your backyard.

From mega-makeovers to craftily creative home improvement, we’re making the outside feel like home with a little backyard DIY.

And the first step: a crash test with Yard Crasher and licensed contractor Matt Blashaw from DIY Network. From plants to pergolas to perennials Matt goes the extra yard. And shares a few tips for backyard DIY projects.

Then Pretty Handy Girl Brittany Bailey inspires us with a DIY can-do that can’t be undone. From passion for DIY to projects galore Brittany makes it work.

There’s dirt to be dug. Flowers to grow. Wood to be cut and a lawn to mow. ‘Tis the season to give it a whack, so join us out back. And let’s get ourbackyard DIY on.

Licensed contractor Matt Blashaw is everything you want in a versatile handyman and then some. His home improvement company once used the slogan “One Call Fixes It All” and Matt made a point of always delivering on that promise. If you’re thinking about taking on a do-it-yourself project, take his advice and just go for it. Matt has hosted DIY Network’s Money Hunters, Deconstruction and Project Xtreme. Matt is the current host of Yard Crashers.

Brittany grew up in Northern Virginia, the oldest of three daughters. Her parents added onto her home three times during my childhood. During renovations, her mom and dad let her swing hammers and “help” them build. They instilled in Brittany a belief that she could do anything a boy could do — if not better.
