Before: Dishing the Dirt

Lisa and Eric love the 1912 Arts and Crafts home they share with their three kids — especially since an addition opened up a huge indoor entertaining space. Unfortunately, the construction work wiped out Lisa's beloved garden area and transformed their yard into an unsightly patch of dirt and rocks. They want safe, fun areas where their sports-mad kids can play without having to hose off afterwards, plus they'd love to have space for grown-up entertainment. Another must: some way to bring people into and through the yard, including to the new garage.
