Many homeowners spend a great deal of time and money making the front of their home beautiful and welcoming -- but then totally ignore the back. They think no one sees it, so it doesn't really matter. Actually, though, someone does see it: the family. Shouldn't it be as appealing to them as the front porch is to guests?
In this episode of Weekend Landscaping, host Jessie Mack Burns helps turn a shabby and cluttered back porch into an attractive and comfortable outdoor living space. She gives the back of this little hodgepodge lodge a complete makeover by building planter boxes; adding beautiful redwood shingles, flagstone steppers and new "woodsy" furniture; and creating planting beds filled with plants that will give the homeowner pleasure for many years to come.
