Backyard Envy - Episode Guide

Meet the Manscapers: three best friends and business partners who design lush backyards and outdoor spaces across New York City and beyond. James sets the team up with a job in the suburbs, but problems arise when Mel and the construction team strike water while building a stone patio. Meanwhile, Garrett creates a beach-inspired rooftop meadow for a couple in Brooklyn, but things get hot while adding some extra flare to the project's planter boxes.

The Manscapers must get creative to deliver a colorful backyard makeover after learning their new suburban clients are allergic to bees! At the same time, James and Mel mix their work and personal lives by agreeing to landscape an East Village rooftop for a good friend and fellow yoga instructor. Last minute additions, limited access, and cuts to schedules keep the Manscapers scrambling.

A Brooklyn couple with a blank-slate backyard and big budget sounds like dream job for the Manscapers - but non-stop check-ins and micro-management from the clients slow their progress. Meanwhile, landscaping the rooftop bar at a high-end hotel for a pair of ultra-picky, design-minded clients puts everyone on edge.

A return client presents the Manscapers with a unique challenge: landscaping four different outdoor spaces connected to her Greenwich Village town home.  With each space demanding its own look and feel, one job starts to feel like four - leaving James, Mel, and Garrett stretched thin and under the gun to finish on time.  Meanwhile, Mel's backyard gets an annual makeover in preparation for Garrett's birthday, leaving James a little jealous.

The Manscapers' new suburban clients have found their "forever" home, but a limited budget to re-vamp the bland backyard means making difficult sacrifices.  Back in the city, an eccentric designer has hired the team to landscape the outdoor spaces in a high-end hotel - but with only two days to complete the project, the Manscapers have their work cut out for them, especially when the client adds his own ideas.

The Manscapers jump at the chance to landscape the highly-anticipated pop-up restaurant Gitano.  But they struggle finding the massive number of palm trees needed to realize their client's vision of recreating the jungle of Tulum, Mexico in Manhattan.  Meanwhile, a Brooklyn-based client and renowned designer pushes the team to think "less is more" and scale back Garrett's planting scheme to transform his overgrown backyard into a minimalist Zen garden.

A suburban couple decides to spend big to give their family a dream backyard, but the project gets off to a rocky start.  The Manscapers' plan for a massive new patio runs into underground complications, and designing with kids in mind proves to be a struggle.  Meanwhile, James lands a major client in the city - a billion-dollar developer who always has a new skyscraper in the works - but a dream project may turn into a nightmare when the client starts picking apart the team's design. 

The Manscapers travel upstate to a working farm and vacation retreat to help their friend, Matt, prepare for a wedding; James, Mel and Garrett construct the ceremony site, landscape a honeymoon suite and prepare arrangements for the reception.

The Manscapers are back and business is better than ever - they've expanded their clientele and they have more projects than they can handle. Success isn't always easy and even harder to maintain when everyone has a different opinion of how the business should be run. The trio must win over a demanding client and his pregnant wife with a major "wow factor." Meanwhile, James and Garrett worry that Mel is burying herself in work in order to avoid dealing with her health issues.

The Manscapers take on their next clients in Brooklyn, who also happen to be Mel's good friends. James & Mel butt heads over his concerns that they will lose money instead of being able to grow their business. Meanwhile, Garrett struggles with his work life balance and Mel finally decides to address the pain she's been feeling with a doctor's visit.

The Manscapers are tasked with creating a Tuscan-themed backyard in the middle of New Jersey. With their business growing rapidly, they decide to do some much needed team building and finally lay down ground rules for the Mannies, but can they go from friends to bosses overnight? Meanwhile, Mel's doctor calls her with unsettling news.

The Manscapers work with Jay and Vic, a couple with two children, who were fired by their previous landscapers. They must learn to juggle their burgeoning business as they have booked the biggest job of their careers: a One-Million Dollar job with St. Germain Liqueur. Meanwhile, Mel waits for results on her biopsy.

After successfully completing their first million dollar job with a leading liqueur, the Manscapers find themselves pulled in different directions as James is still stuck in the clouds from their success. They find themselves pulled even further apart when it comes to hiring their mannie, Paul for their project with Connie & Steven, who moved to the suburbs looking for a pastoral retreat. Things finally come to a head as Paul can't help himself and defies Garrett & James.

The Manscapers are challenged with their biggest task yet - creating a minimalist space for Mel's friends Nayla and Kevin, which is totally out of their comfort zone. Meanwhile, James is excited to take on a big project - a World Pride float for a hotel giant. He struggles with focusing on the residential jobs, pushing the Manscapers further and further apart.

The Manscapers take on a massive challenge in the Hudson Valley of New when they are asked to design a Japanese garden for an ultra-modern home with multiple zones. James further alienates himself from his business partners with dreams of heading west and the trio struggles to agree on a singular vision for the business. As tensions escalate, the Manscapers head back to therapy to sort out their differences so they can move forward.

The Manscapers take on one of the most logistically challenging jobs of their careers at a remote location on Fire Island. Garrett decides to surprise his long-time boyfriend, Andrew with an engagement proposal. The Manscapers reach a final crossroads regarding the future of their business. Will they go their separate ways?
