Backyard Makeover Photos

These readers didn't sacrifice style with their budget backyard makeover.

Take a stroll through David Monnin and Mark Nagy's backyard. Over the course of 4 years, they created this backyard haven on a budget, and we crowned it the winning backyard in our Limited Resources category.

For more photos and how it was done and the amount of money saved, see the June/July issue.
