If you&#8217;ve ever walked through a Schell Brothers model and thought, &#8220;I want my yard to look like this,&#8221; this episode is for you. Chris shares expert advice on everything from curb appeal to creating an outdoor oasis, while the blokes prove that landscaping is a little more complicated than digging a hole and hoping for the best. Along the way, you&#8217;ll pick up practical tips, hear a few laughs, and maybe even learn the difference between a shrub and something Frank accidentally mows over. Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for another episode of Beachfront Banter\u2014cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BeachFront Banter | EP 22 ft.
