Let's just say Chris Lambton leads an interesting life. Some might call it charmed. For starters, he was runner-up on the ABC hit series The Bachelorette. Professionally, he gets to pursue his passion as the owner of his own landscaping business in his hometown of Cape Cod, Mass. Then in a romantic turn that Hollywood could scarcely have dreamed up, Chris married Peyton Wright, a former contestant on ABC's The Bachelor. Now, as host of HGTV's Going Yard, Chris transforms plain, drab backyards into spectacular, family-friendly outdoor spaces — with Peyton there to lend a hand. Check out some of Chris and Peyton's handiwork in these exclusive before-and-after and behind-the-scenes photos.

New outdoor furniture and a colorful table setting await guests in one of the backyards newly made over by landscape professional Chris Lambton and the Going Yard crew.

A decorative water feature can make for a pleasing focal point for a deck, patio or garden. This one, surrounded by flowers and foliage, provides a strong visual accent as well as a pleasing sound.

Chris and Peyton meet with homeowners Tony and Kellie Oliveira to discuss the plans for their new backyard. The design calls for the removal of a damaged deck – replacing it with a new upper and lower deck – and the addition of a brick patio, outdoor fireplace, pergola, privacy fence, new plantings and a play area for the Oliveiras' year-old son, Brycen.
