Restoring old homes is wonderful, putting character back where it's been ripped out for trendy crap no one will want after a few years. And this guy does a good, if repetitive job of it. However, his methods in dealing with the living nature around these homes is the reason I won't watch the show anymore.
Ripping out ALL of the trees, flowers and bushes just so you can show off the work you did by replacing them with sparse landscaping is certainly not "restorative" to nature.
I understand taking out dead trees, removing overgrowth, etc, but I really dislike when they rip things out of the ground willy-nilly because it's "blocking the view of the house." Which is exactly what he said in the last episode I watched, before he ripped out every single tree, plant and bush from the front yard.
