Canadian reality television series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Backyard Builds is a Canadian home renovation reality series, which premiered in 2017 on HGTV (Corus).[1] Hosted by designer Sarah Keenleyside and contractor Brian McCourt, the series features the duo redesigning and renovating homeowners' back yards into more flexible and versatile outdoor living spaces.[2]
The series received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lifestyle Program or Series at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018.[3]
Production of the series went into hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada,[4] with its final episodes airing in 2021. McCourt subsequently launched a home decor line for Harry Rosen[5] and continued with his own design and construction firm, Brian McCourt Designs, while Keenleyside moved to Prince Edward County in 2024 with her husband, singer-songwriter Justin Rutledge, and returned to television in 2026 in the new HGTV (Rogers) show The County.[6]
