‘Today’s Homeowner’ hosts Danny Lipford and Chelsea Lipford Wolf will pay a special visit to the Petry family in Hurricane, West Virginia. Donna Petry won TH’s Backyard Paradise Contest, sponsored by Quikrete and Pavestone.
MOBILE, ALABAMA (May 20, 2020) — Expert home improvement guru and national media personality Danny Lipford is taking his Emmy-nominated television show, “Today’s Homeowner,” on the road to West Virginia. He and his crew are visiting the Mountain State to help Donna Petry transform her backyard from basic to brilliant with a team of experts.
Petry is the winner of the brand’s annual “Backyard Paradise” contest sponsored by Today’s Homeowner Media, Pavestone and Quikrete. She resides in Hurricane, WV, with her husband, Steven, and two young children — Andrew (11) and Morgan (4.) As the winner, Petry will receive expert design services to create the backyard of her dreams, labor and installation of a variety of project materials from Pavestone and Quikrete, valued at $10,000. Additionally, Petry and her family will appear on a special episode of “Today’s Homeowner” TV showcasing their backyard makeover.
When asked about her motivation for entering the “Backyard Paradise” contest, Petry said she dreamed of winning and surprising her husband with an outdoor makeover.
“My husband volunteers most of his time at the local Little League and gives so much time and effort to our community,” said Petry. “He is an amazing husband and father. This backyard makeover would be a great way to tell him thank you!”
When the host of “Today’s Homeowner” TV, Danny Lipford, called Petry to let her know she won the “Backyard Paradise” contest, she was shocked. She told Lipford that she is looking forward to having an attractive, usable outdoor area to have family and friends over for cookouts; a place to sit, relax and watch the kids play; and a cozy fire pit they all can enjoy.
“My team and I look forward to this contest every year because outdoor living spaces are popular and here to stay,” said Lipford. “It’s something most homeowners want, but, often, aren’t sure how to achieve. I’m eager to help Donna create a space that she and her family will use and enjoy for years to come, and, show our audience how fun and easy it can be along the way.”
The “Today’s Homeowner” team will coordinate the Petrys’ backyard makeover this summer with the episode set to air in September.
Thousands of homeowners from nearly every state in the U.S. and Canada entered this year’s “Backyard Paradise” contest in hopes of winning the outdoor makeover grand prize. Some of the specific projects the Today’s Homeowner team will tackle at the Petrys’ home include:
- Renovating the deck area
- Adding a paved area for grilling
- Upgrading the landscaping
- Upgrading the family’s fire pit
- Creating a family entertaining area
