The backyard was "rough as guts" when they bought the property.
"All this planting, we have done all that," Jones said. "There was this big, ugly shed in the corner. It was rough."

Jones wanted to have more light coming into the house so they installed floor to ceiling french doors that would open on to a deck down to the backyard.
With a spa in the corner and a newly planted garden around the fence line, all their desires were covered.
"The gardens are just getting established. My dream was to be surrounded by a green wall."
With JD Builders helping out with the renovations, it took eight months to complete the build.
Jones loved the entire experience, saying it allowed her to be creative whilst keeping it authentic.
"I thrive on it. I loved doing this place and I found it so easy with fittings. I love the villa style. I really enjoyed doing this one, it was super fun."
