Yard Crashers (2008– ) User Reviews

Dogs out, workers in.....

[rapoltidora · 1/10 · 1 January 2019]

I've never seen this show before, but today I saw an episode (s11e02). In the old garden was two, maybe three dogs... and the host just said '' the first thing what the owners have to do, get rid of the dogs''. Than dogs will be removed(firtst I think, ok it happens just because of the groundworks) and the end of this episode the dogs didn't come back :( What kind of people can just throw away their animals because of a new garden 😢

Safety Crashers

[ArtVandelayImporterExporter · 4/10 · 1 November 2018]

So much to hate about this show: The completely phony premise of having the over-caffeinated weirdo host stalk customers in the lumber store and pretend to find somebody at random who agrees to not call the cops, um, let him come wreck their yard. The fake design process where the weirdo host pretends to get all the plan ideas in about a five-minute meeting. All the foremen and lead hands jumping out of their trucks at 7 in the morning like they're rushing to put out a fire. The world-beating tributes to bad taste they foist on clients' back yards. The measly few plants brought in and slammed into dry, unprepped holes. But what offends me most is the total disregard for safety. In one episode alone I saw: Woman client operating chainsaw by drawing the blade through an old wooden deck toward her own shins and feet (sneakers, not steel-toed boots). Woman client and the weirdo host rip-cutting boards with a table saw that lacked a kickback guard. Later a tradesman ripping pieces without a push stick. Woman client and other crew members pointlessly attacking a rusty old metal shed with poles, sledgehammers and their own feet, maybe to prove how tetanus is spread? Crazed host pounded a concrete patio with a sledgehammer, chips flying everwhere, nobody wearing safety glasses. Crew pushing over an old arbour, half of them standing under the arbor, nobody wearing a hard hat. If the average schmoe went about his backyard makeover with as little regard for safety as these clowns he'd be in emergency by lunch on the first day. I'd hate to see this show's liability premiums.

Rarely selects racially diverse homeowners for yard makeover

[ramonav-14558 · 1/10 · 5 August 2019]

I have seen very few episodes inclusive of racial and ethnic minority homeowners or workers/contractors on this show. This should be mandatory requirement as viewers are diverse as well as homeowners. I hope the producers have access to this feedback.
