In the third hour, Dean discusses landscape design for the 21st-century home, emphasizing the need for more nature and less visible structure to create a park-like feel. He uses Central Park as an example of expertly done landscaping that blends hardscape with nature seamlessly.

Dean highlights that landscaping offers the highest return on investment, encouraging homeowners to rethink and redraw their outdoor spaces. He advises against following existing landscape lines, suggesting a more natural and whimsical approach to design that minimizes hardscape but remains accessible.

He also addresses the growing disconnect from nature, noting that the current generation spends significantly less time outdoors than their parents, leading to increased anxiety and other issues. Dean references the nature pyramid on his socials, which outlines the necessary amount of nature exposure for maintaining health.

Dean wraps up the show by summarizing the key tips and strategies discussed, emphasizing the importance of personalizing and enhancing your outdoor space to improve your quality of life.
