Endless Summer : Landscaping : Home & Garden Television

Before: The yard of this newly constructed home has no dimension, shape or color, and it desperately needs some work and attention.

After: The new brick patio complete with a fire pit and gurgling fountain is great for entertaining guests. A pergola is tucked away in the corner as a quiet, hidden sanctuary.

Landscape Smart host, Paul Ghiringhelli, joins homeowners Faith and Lee Lira, whose backyard is lacking in color and life. Their new construction home's backyard is dull, barren and full of dirt. With a lot of help from landscape designer Amy Bisbee, their yard is transformed into a beautiful space that's great for entertaining and relaxing with the family.

The pergola features interchangeable swings and Roman shades for added privacy.

A cutting garden has been planted with perennials suitable for use as cutflowers. A nice green layer of sod completes the area.

A sandbox has been built for the couple's young daughter. The hinged cover keeps out rain and falling leaves.

A pondless fountain creates a soothing focal point that's also safe for young children.
