In this episode of Houzz TV Live, Houzz editor Janet Paik gives a virtual tour of her family’s landscape renovation at her 1950s ranch-style home in Northern California. When Paik first moved into the home with her family, she thought the yard looked like a “mini jungle.” Now the outdoor areas feature spacious family-friendly zones for playing, entertaining and exploring.
