Read "A Backyard Re-design That Really Works" by Scott Cohen

Published in Landscape Architect

July 2010

We were featured on A&E's "Fix This Yard" on Sat. May 1st

Episode 3 - Erika and Aaron

"After 25 years of renting, Erika, a single mother, was finally able to buy a home for herself and her 16-year-old son, Aaron. However, the pride of home ownership was soon overshadowed by the realities of the fixer-upper they purchased and the expectations of neighbors eager to see this outdated home modernized. Luckily, Alan and Amy stopped by for the weekend to help give the home a 21st Century facelift with plants, pavers, a new garage door and a fresh coat of paint. But Erika and the team don't always see eye to eye when it comes to the direction of the project, and the yard's largest tree stands right in between them."

• We currently have 6 new projects in the works that we are very excited about.


• During the spring of 2010, the Fine Living Network ran 4 television shows with our projects: Bodacious Outdoor Spaces, 15 Bodacious Outdoor Kitchens, X-Treme Outdoor Projects, and 15 More Bodacious Backyards.
