A Backyard Makeover Good things come to those who wait, and Melissa and Kelly took those words to heart and found their sprawling 1950s ranch after more than a two-year search. They see huge potential in the large, neglected backyard and want an outdoor living space they can enjoy as much as they do the house. Items on their to-do list include solving their drainage problem, renovating the pool and creating a barbecue area. With the help of a landscape designer and a budget of $90,000, they're hoping their overgrown backyard becomes an inviting oasis.
