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.

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.
