Apartment Therapy-like website for backyard inspiration?

Spring is right around the corner, and we're starting to plan our Backyard Project™. Is there an Apartment Therapy-like website for backyard inspiration? Looking for lots of photos and write-ups about things like brick patios, decks, gardens, water features, etc.

By "Apartment-Therapy-like" I assume you mean "hip," but you can always try Better Homes and Gardens if you ignore the embarrassing "turning into your mom" factor. Just Google gardening or backyard landscaping. Tons o' stuff out there.

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone. I was really surprised there was no definitive blog/website, so I started my own. Check it out over on Projects: Yardhacker.

Nice, definitely if there's a need/niche fill it if you can. We can all benefit from it.
