    Figure B
    Does your patio need a makeover? Cracked concrete and castoff lawn furniture can leave an outdoor space looking tired and uninviting. Join Jessie Mack Burns on this episode of Weekend Landscaping as she transforms a boring patio (figure A) from drab to fab. Using design software, Burns creates a room that is chic, affordable and certain to become a favorite retreat.


    As you follow the transformation of this basic outdoor space, you'll learn how to stain concrete and incorporate concrete flaws into the flooring design, install a fountain for atmosphere, use planters and plants to create a "room" perimeter, and select furniture and accessories to match the proportions of the room. You'll be inspired and challenged to turn your outdoor area into a beautiful living space (figure B).
