Eric and Wendy Arendts live in Phoenix, Ariz., with their three boys, two dogs and a fifteen-year-old cat. Warm temperatures year around and a housing boom has made this city in the desert an attractive place to live for people all over the country. For the Arendts, it means they can enjoy being outside with their boys year around. In order to fully enjoy their time outdoors, they would like their backyard to feel as inviting as the weather.

Eric and Wendy have a great looking backyard, but it’s not very much fun for three growing boys. The pool is too small for such a large yard, and the side yard isn't being used.
