Before

The classic Hawaiian-styled backyard includes a new dining/entertaining area complete with a pergola and a lush assortment of tropical plants and decorations.

Work has already begun on a yard the homeowners had filled with items without a cohesive design plan. The small patio isn't conducive to entertaining and the space needs a theme to tie it all together.

After: An upscale Hawaiian design comprised of dark woods and trip mementos is reminiscent of the Liang's honeymoon on the big island. A large platform made of recycled materials has the look of wood without the maintenance.

Before

Kelvin Liang is always surprising his wife with romantic gestures. In return, Melissa has asked for help to turn their plain backyard into a tropical destination for both of them to enjoy.

After

Taking cues from a five-star hotel, this backyard is now lush and colorful. A traditional Hawaiian quilt block stencil is the finishing touch on the garage wall and a new privacy fence enhances the secluded getaway feeling.
