For DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for practical advice, “Ask This Old House” remains a reliable source of inspiration. This Thursday, host Kevin O’Connor and the team tackle two very different projects, proving their ability to offer solutions for all kinds of home improvement problems.
First, they visit a non-profit organization in Detroit that’s transforming urban spaces into vibrant pollinator gardens. The team shows the best soil prep and planting methods and how to properly maintain an urban garden.
Then, it’s off to another house call, where they demonstrate how to remove a tired brick driveway apron and replace it with attractive cobblestones. It’s a makeover that combines functionality with curb appeal.
“Ask This Old House: Urban Gardens, Apron Driveway” airs Thursday, May 1st at 8:30 PM ET on PBS.
