Worth a Listen: 10 Podcasts for Backyard Projects and Outdoor Home Improvements
By Joshua Smith
A backyard is never really finished. There is always a fence that could use fixing, a deck that needs staining, a firepit idea kicking around, a better place for the grill, a walkway that could be improved, or a corner of the yard that could become something useful. This week’s podcast list is for the weekend project folks who like making the outside of the home work a little better.
1. The Money Pit
A solid pick for homeowners tackling repairs, improvements, maintenance, and those projects that start small and somehow become Saturday’s whole plan.
2. Today’s Homeowner Podcast
This show covers practical home improvement topics, including decks, patios, outdoor repairs, drainage, siding, painting, and seasonal maintenance.
3. Ask This Old House
A great choice for people who like clear explanations from skilled tradespeople. It often covers outdoor projects, repairs, tools, and home maintenance basics.
4. Fix It Home Improvement
A helpful show for do-it-yourselfers, with episodes on tools, materials, repairs, and common homeowner projects inside and outside the house.
5. Home Repair Tutor
Good for listeners who want simple project guidance, especially when trying to decide what they can handle themselves and what may need a pro.
6. Around the House with Eric G.
This podcast covers remodeling, repair, outdoor living, smart home upgrades, and ways to make a house more useful and comfortable.
7. The Fine Homebuilding Podcast
A stronger fit for serious DIY folks, contractors, and anyone who likes learning the “why” behind good building practices.
8. The Build Show Podcast
For listeners interested in construction, materials, better building methods, exterior projects, and long-lasting home improvements.

10. The Handyman Pros Radio Show
A useful podcast for fix-it folks, with practical conversations about repairs, tools, maintenance, and the kinds of projects homeowners run into all the time.
Whether it is a deck, a shed, a walkway, a better backyard gathering space, or finally getting around to that spring repair list, these podcasts can help get the ideas moving before the hammer comes out.
And right here at home, The St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Outdoor Edge, hosted by Gary Moore, often includes a Backyard Report, where we talk about outdoor home improvements, backyard projects, seasonal chores, local resources, and the little fixes that make life around the house more enjoyable.
