Ready to transform your outdoor living space this summer?
In this segment from The HOME Show, hosts Trish Roth and Rich Roth sit down with Hans Ulrich, owner of Hill City Builders. Hans shares his expert local builder perspective on the massive debate of wood vs. composite decking—breaking down upfront costs, long-term maintenance, lifespan and why you should never paint composite decks.
We also dive into the rising trend of integrating custom fire features directly into decks and patios, safely navigating local building codes and how upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows and doors can dramatically slash your summer cooling bills.
WB, Jacob, and Michelle from Bass Sod Farm take over the studio to break down the differences between Turf-Type Tall Fescue, Zeon Zoysia, and Bermuda grass. Learn how to pick the right sod for your shade, pets, and lifestyle, plus tips for prepping your yard before laying new turf.
Chad Wheeler from WheelerGreen Lawn Care drops by to discuss summer weed control (crabgrass, wiregrass, and clover), the truth about soil testing, and why fall aeration and overseeding are critical for long-term turf health.
Step inside HOME magazine’s Summer Showcase home with custom homeowner and interior designer Joy Nobilini. Joy joins Trish and Rich Roth to share the realities of building a dream home on a steep slope, assembling an “IKEA-style” above-ground pool kit to mimic a luxury infinity pool and her brilliant philosophy for mixing high-end pieces with budget-friendly finds.
