Lollipop-Inspired Backyard

Soon to be married, Nicole Tran and Peter Chang are happy with their Huntington Beach love nest but the back patio is a real heartbreaker. It's a mixture of mud and tired decking that doesn't fit with their designer dreams. With a combination of clever lighting, scented plants and towering trees, host Matt James completely transforms the space.

This Huntington Beach condo is the first home for Peter and Nicole, and while they love its graceful interior, its yard is rather ugly and is spoiling the view from the nearby greenway. They ask Matt to create a garden full of fragrant flowers and shapely shrubs where they can entertain their large families.
