Make It Happen episode 1: Backyard makeover

Does transforming a small backyard into a low-maintenance entertainer's paradise, on a budget, sound too good to be true? Watch as Lucy Glade-Wright and a team from Bunnings help Jenny makeover her run-down backyard into an ideal outdoor living space, with some simple D.I.Y. ideas.

Over the course of two days, the team will be replacing the awkwardly levelled pavers with a new deck, to make the space feel more connected to the rest of the house. They'll create a dedicated BBQ area for entertaining, and paint the existing weatherboards and fence to freshen up the space. Finishing it off with a water feature, garden screens and hardy, low-maintenance plants will give Jenny's backyard the perfect vibe for entertaining her family and friends.
