LC/DBM June 2013 Table of Contents

On the cover:
Intimate outdoor areas are the focus of this month's issue. San Diego County-based Backyard Vacations designed and built this outdoor living room using much real stone, granite, and marine plywood.

Features

More Room to Relate
The Smalls of Carlsbad, California wanted to turn their lackluster backyard into an area that would be inviting to their four young children now and as they grow. Backyard Vacations met the challenge by designing and building a hub of enjoyment that includes a pool with challenging play features and an outdoor living room where kids of all ages can connect.

A Change of View
Wishing to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends more, Shane and Nicole Ditty considered buying a vacation house but envisioned that their South Bend, Indiana home had the potential to meet their desires. Lovisa and Barone Landscape Associates helped them realize this new image.
