(Exmark Backyard Life) — For some homeowners, a “dream yard” isn’t about adding more—it’s about opening things up.
For Joe Thomas, that meant designing a property with long sightlines, natural boundaries, and uninterrupted views of the lake and sunset, creating a private, wide-open space built for both relaxation and recreation.
In this Dream Yards episode, Joe walks through the thinking behind his 40-acre layout, from the backyard pool and patio that anchor summer gatherings to the trails, fields, and water that support his family’s outdoor lifestyle.
He also shares how Exmark helps him maintain a clean, manicured look across acres of land, without sacrificing time spent enjoying it.
