[KHTS] – Casting Director Jane Livshin is looking for families in the Santa Clarita Valley and Los Angeles County to cast in the pilot of a new reality television show, “Backyard Makeover,” for the A&E network FYI.
During the show, a celebrity landscape designer will transform an overgrown or unusable backyard into a backyard that the family has always dreamed of, according to a press release from Livshin.
To be considered for a role in the show, families must have a backyard that is in serious need of a makeover, with overgrown weeds and bushes, dry brush or dying trees.
Livshin will be accepting submissions during the next couple of weeks and choose a family to star in the pilot by mid May.
Filming is scheduled to start during the second week of June.
The show will allow the family to get involved in the makeover of their backyard, Livshin said, but also include a big “reveal” at the end of each episode, after the designer has added his special touches.
Those who are interested in participating should include their name, age, address, contact information, a photo of their backyard and a brief description of how their backyard affects their family.

Would love to be considered for a backyard makeover. Do whatever you want! We can help with anything. Our yard is a work in progress. (slow). It’s A mish mash of dirt river rock and Ailanthus trees!
I have a friend whose yard would be great for this!! His yard has mature oak trees rocks a slope you can’t do anything with some fruit trees, cactus, a run down useless guest house,a creek at the bottom of the slope and seriously needs some TLC.. I’ll send pics as soon as I can… The house is in lakeside,CA.
I am a deployed Air Force member in Iraq. We have a area around our living quarters where will like to hang out and sometimes watch movies when its not too hot. We have to only use thing we can scrounge up, like old tables, stadium style seats, etc.. could you help us kinda fix it up or be able to donate to improve our off duty time quality of life? I can send pics to show you what we have if needed. I appreciate any help or donations we could get. Thanks TSgt Jesse Reddam USAF
