This week on the TLC: Tend Life Community Podcast, we're tearing down the idea that fences and decks are just background features. We're joined by the dynamic duo behind Heilman Deck & Fence, Andy, and Amanda Heilman, for a conversation that goes beyond the picket line. From design trends that turn your yard into a personal paradise to practical tips that could save you thousands, this episode is stacked tighter than a cedar deck board with must-know advice.
We kicked things off with a crisp 2023 Sauvignon Blanc from Barnard Griffin, bright, zippy, and perfect for sipping while dreaming of your next backyard upgrade. Then we dove into a full-bodied discussion on everything from when to repair vs. replace, how to weatherproof like a pro in the Pacific Northwest, and which DIY dreams are best left to the professionals. Plus, we uncovered the latest outdoor living trends and even peeked over the fence to see what the future holds for home exteriors.
Whether you're planning your next project or just want to spot contractor red flags before it's too late, this episode nails it. And don't miss our signature Real Estate Roundup, where we shine a light on the rise of wire fraud in real estate transactions, and why email-only communication is a risk you can't afford.
So, grab a glass and join us for a conversation that's equal parts education and inspiration. Your backyard will thank you.
