All About

Built around a four-foot central fountain, the spacious new terrace multiplies the Lockes' outdoor living space with versatile dining and conversation areas. Mature serviceberry trees, which turn a dramatic red in the fall, provide plenty of shade. Bob even replaced Neil's hard-used grill, dubbed Old Sparky, with a state-of-the-art model.
