Need front porch and steps ideas
Comments (1)1) Like idea of removing bushes to open up. Railing a good idea once bushes are gone. Composite decking over brick questionable. Not sure about look and concerned about ventilation underneath. Brick ties together current entry area and walkway. Entry area is a small space and not sure would look right adding another material to mix. Composite is basically a mix of cardboard particles and plastic. While there has been some progress since products first introduced, (wrapping outer layer with solid plastic) cardboard particles are vulnerable to molds and can cause boards to disintegrate if particles eaten out. Without ventilation under deck, I would suspect moisture levels would be too high. It would also be rough on stringers, though if they were ground contact pressure treated wood they should be able to take it....See MoreNeed ideas for front steps...
Comments (2)Without a picture, the choices are endless--Viburnums, Spireas, Deutzias, Hydrangeas and on and on, with dozens of cultivars in each genus. I say the choices are endless because we have no idea of the size you need or how any of them would look against your house. BTW, this is a choice of shrubs question, not a landscaping question, and as such you might get better responses from the shrubs forum....See MoreIdeas for budget-friendly front steps/porch replacement?
Comments (1)Cute puppers, but can you post a picture of the whole front of the house?...See Morefront step railing ideas
Comments (9)I also agree. Look at ideas for railings on Houzz. Looks like you've started to paint the white light frame on your front door black, a much better look....See Moregrievousangel
