Best Yard Before and Afters 2010

Who: Jim M.

Where: Coventry, RI

After outlining the size of the area, I built the three walls that would support the patio. I backfilled them with stone and gravel and let them sit for one winter. I planned ahead for underground low voltage lines, and the landscape lighting they would power as well as a small fountain. My favorite part of the patio is the circle kits, charcoal colored edges and the unique overall shape and design.

Who did the work: I did all the work myself
Cost: $10,000 to $25,000
