Perry and Sandy Payne have no idea where to begin when it comes to landscaping their wildly disorganized backyard. Fortunately host Nicholas Walker has the perfect landscape designer in mind to solve their quarrels. With the guest designer on the case, it's not long before the Paynes' wild jungle becomes a peaceful Japanese garden complete with a rock garden, waterfall and spa for two.

Plants used in this project: azaleas, tiger lilies (Lilium lancifolium or L. tigrinum), black mondo grass, horsetail (Equisetum)
