Project Spotlight: Backyard Getaways (2016)

September 2, 2016

Although this backyard in Vaughan, Ont., already included a large, stamped concrete patio, outdoor kitchen, and covered pavilion area, the homeowner felt adding a pool would up the ante of their backyard’s entertainment value and satisfy the need of creating a gathering place for family and friends.
