Anna Daily and pet Kojo enjoy the koi pond squeezed into a slim spot in their back yard.

The Dailys' compact hillside garden, with boxwood and brick edge, slopes down to four Yoshino cherry trees that support two rope hammocks at the Dailys' Sunset Drive house.

Anna Daily created this mosaic focal point out of a recycled screen door and wooden columns.

Anna and Pete Daily created this mosaic patio floor from tile odds and ends purchased at deep discounts.

This barren little strip of land became a series of ponds filled with plants and fish at the home of Anna and Pete Daily. Photo courtesy Pete Daily.
