The "blue" team's newly landscaped space features plants, trellises, new walkways and a small patio table.

Cindi and Andrew Bailey take on their neighbors, Alan Palmer and James Carter, for the best backyard design. Cindi and Andrew (the blue team) want an Italian-inspired terraced garden.

Before, the Baileys had a bare space with cracked bricks.

Alan and James (red team) want to install a waterfall surrounded by a country garden. Helping our homeowners with their makeovers is landscape designer Gina Gambill.
