Next: The Plan: Japanese-Inspired Garden
An awkward, rectangular-shaped backyard has left the homeowners wondering what to do with the space. After initial attempts to fix up their yard failed, the space became a barren area they don't use except as a place to let their dog run. Truc and Jae were married at a Japanese garden and would like to bring Asian elements into the space. However, the architecture of their house poses a challenge because it doesn't fit in with the Asian theme. So Matt must try to fuse components of a traditional Japanese garden with the California-style surroundings.
