Bohemian Backyard

Landscape Smart : Episode LDS-1713 -- More Projects »

Before: The homeowner wants a low-maintenance yard where she can have dinner parties and relax with privacy. Right now this space doesn't have any interest or character.

After: The new brick patio is a perfect space for entertaining guests. An innovative fabric sail creates a dramatic entrance from the side yard to the back.

Next to a cedar bench sits a Buddha statue. It now rests in a carved-out niche on an existing tree stump.

Host Paul Ghiringhelli meets a homeowner whose boring backyard doesn't reflect her outgoing and artistic personality. Landscape designer Mindy Krueger creates a landscape design to fit the eclectic style of homeowner Michele Licata. Cedar benches, privacy screens and low-maintenance plants all come together to form this colorful, bohemian-inspired backyard.

Before: This corner has lots of potential and character, but right now it's being used for storage.

After: The nook is a great area for a private dinner party or an intimate spot for relaxation.

Privacy screens block the neighbors' view while also providing a background for shade-loving plants.

The once unsightly retaining wall has been transformed into additional seating for guests.
