Yard Crashers on DIY Network
Article by ExploreSAC on Tuesday, 10 of March , 2009 at 4:18 pm
I was flipping through the channels a while back and came across a show I hadn’t seen before called Yard Crashers. I was about to move on when I saw that they were at OSH and heard the host mention Sacramento. I thought it was a fluke, watched the show, and soon forgot about it. Until yesterday…
The same thing happened – I was flipping through the channels and happened across Yard Crashers. This time they were at Emigh Hardware, located on El Camino near Watt Ave! It wasn’t a fluke.
Yard Crashers is a home improvement show, like Curb Appeal or , hosted by landscaper Ahmed Hassan. The crew stakes out a hardware store and ambushes customers. Most are too startled or standoffish, but inevitably one will accept Hassan’s offer and Yard Crashers has a new project. Yard Crashers is the product of the Sacramento firm, Idea Factory. More information about the show can be found on SacBee.com.
I looked through our TV’s guide and found more episodes to record, but also saw that they were all older episodes. Apparently it’s between seasons, which makes me think they’re going to start filming soon, especially since the weather is getting nicer! So, keep an eye out for Ahmed Hassan at a local hardware store! You might be able to get a free yard renovation!

I LOVE YOUR SHOW. I watch all the time. I’m a 55yr old female that is completely hooked on the show.
Even though I would love to have a make over for my daughter’s new home (located at xxxx xxth Ave.) her neighbor is in more need than she is. The elderly lady has a HUGE PECAN tree that is moving her home. The tree in growing into her roof!! She has no money and no one to help her with her home nor her yard.
If there is anything that can be done to help her, she would appreciate it greatly!! I am trying to also see if the county or Social Services have some type of unit that would come in and assist her with her needs. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL COME IN AND COMPLETLY CHANGE HER LIFE!! It would make a darn good show!!!

I should point out that this blog is not affiliated with Yard Crashers. While I appreciate the comments, I don’t want anyone expecting a representative from the show to respond here…
Marsha, I redacted the address from your comment. I can’t speak for your daughter, but I wouldn’t want my address posted, regardless of the good intentions. Anyhow, I have had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Hassan and I’m afraid they don’t take requests such as this.

You are so awesome!!! We (my husband and I) watch your show all the time. We’ve been married living in the same house for twenty years (with 3 teenagers).We saved for years and finally closed on a brand new home. We got an excellent deal because the house was being sold as is. The builder ran out of money. There was no plumbing, electricity, central heat and air, faucets, toilets,and no light fixtures or appliances. Yes, we had pay to do all the work. The front is sodded but the back yard is completely blank.There is not a stick on the scene. The community is beautiful
and the man next door’s yard has a awesome in ground swimming pool scene going. We’re like, how on earth are we gonna compete with that.If you could just give us ideas would be a God send.

This is for Ahmed and his great Yard Crasher Crews. My son and his beautiful wife are expecting their third child.We were given the news on Christmas Day. But three months into the pregnancy she began having unusual pain in her back and legs. After several doctor appointments a specialist found she had a form of blood cancer that attacks the bone tissue.The cancer has destroyed one vertebra completely. She spent 4 weeks in the University of San Francisco Hospital and then came home for a short stay. The pregnancy will be induce this July 6 2010. This is the earliest the baby can be taken safely. Four days later they will start a very strong chemo treatment. Then the will operate to build a artificial vertebra to replace the one destroyed by the cancer.After that she will be on a chemo drip. She will be in the San Francisco hospital for 6 to 8 weeks. My son Nic is a warehouse worker and his wife Sonia works for the State of Calif.. She has not been to in four months. Fortunately everyone has pulled together to help them thru this crisis. They have a 10 year old and a 5 year old little girls. Sorry to say but the backyard is nothing but cut down weeds. This would be great homecoming gift for Sonia, our new grandbaby and surprise for Nic,Savanah and Isabella. Thank You for your time and show. Jim
