Get Your Summer On

 

Warm weather is finally here and it is time to freshen up our patios for relaxation and fun—but where does one start?

To celebrate we asked readers to submit a pitch and photo of their backyard for the chance to win a DIY makeover! 15 finalists have been selected, each with a unique story and patio that is in need of a major makeover, and we will be sharing suggested tips provided by our expert sponsors.

Each week we will have special coverage of the finalists and provide tips to help you prepare your own backyard for fun this summer!
