Landscapers' Challenge : Episode LSC-901 -- More Projects »
Jonathan Endicott, Creston Baker and their two dogs, Drummond and Maggie, feel at home in their 1942 Cape Cod-style house. The pair has done a lot of renovation to the house since buying it, but the front and side yards are in need of some love. They are hoping to create a more welcoming front entrance as well as turn their outdated side yard into a secret garden hideaway.

Next: After: The Perfect Stone
When they bought their Cape Cod-style home, the homeowners knew they had a lot of work to do. Now that they've finished the interior, they want to fashion a front yard that acts as an easy introduction to their warm and welcoming style. They feel that their driveway looks like a loading dock and want a more premier finish. In addition, the porch's paint is peeling, the railings are old and the stairway wall is a huge eyesore.
