Before: Although this is the entertaining area of the yard, there is very little to keep friends and family out here.

After: Lattice screening provides light control and privacy while a new bar area makes entertaining the large gatherings hosted here much easier.

Before: While the homeowners like this kiwi vine, it's overgrown and not doing anything for this section of their yard, which their son could be using.

After: A train made of outdoor-rated plywood and painted flowerpots looks like it's coming right out of a fake tunnel on the existing wall!

Before: The homeowners are self-proclaimed homebodies so giving them a "front porch in the backyard" is architect Rick D'Amato's goal for this unattractive covered patio.

After: Rockers, new floorboards, a handpainted billboard and plants soften the entire area, making it hard to resist relaxing outside.
Frank and Maria Di Liberto's backyard is fragmented and patched together. As a surprise for years of giving so much to the family, Frank's brother and sister-in-law, John and Patty Dilibert, decide to have the Di Liberto's backyard made over. With the aid of host Susie Coelho and the Outer Spaces team, the backyard is transformed into a unified space with touches of classic Americana. Architect Rick D'Amato helps to clear out the old and bring in the new, including a toy train!
