	Before: Weed Filled Grass Homeowners Allen Stern and Mai Vu have a flat backyard surrounded with a cement border. Landscape designer Sean Quigley creates an Asian-inspired garden that is also kid friendly with a dry river bed, sand box, arbor and red patio. Allen Stern and Mai Vu describe their yard as "a swimming pool without water" because of its rectangular lawn surrounded by concrete. They'd like to divide the space into a couple outdoor rooms, including an Asian-themed hideaway.

	After: Dazzling Accents See more of this project A dry creek bed with sparkling tumbled glass flows under an arching redwood bridge. Not only is it low maintenance, but it's also perfectly safe for the kids. A sand box and herb garden made out of the old concrete sit on opposite ends of the yard. Pea gravel fills the back of the yard, where a bench mimics the arch of the arbor.
