Scott and Cathy Howe spent months creating their dream home on the Puget Sound just outside the Emerald City, also known as Seattle, Wash. Every inch of the interior has been redone and reflects the home's beautiful Craftsman style. Now, they are ready to revamp their torn up front yard and turn it into an inviting retreat where they can relax and play with their children.

Scott and Cathy Howe recently finished an 18-month remodel on their Craftsman-style house that looks out to Puget Sound. They now long for a front yard that is as welcoming as the inside of their newly-renovated home. Other than remnants of an old fireplace, lots of gravel and some overgrown shrubs, the yard is a blank slate.
