I need suggestions for curb appeal.
I need help with curb appeal! For now, I have to keep the white vinyl siding so my plan is to have it cleaned,
I am replacing my windows. It is hard to see in this picture buy they are clouded up due to argon?? It was like this when I purchased house. Any thoughts on what to do? I am leaning toward 6 over 1 black windows and maybe having the front ones boxed out a bit to give me more dimension and a wider inside ledge. I cannot do a bay window. Any thoughts? Maybe add a soffit? Also plan on moving utilities.

Need Suggestions for Colorful Entry and Curb Appeal
Comments (3)You do have alot of shade. Well you can research what would grow best in shade but these come to mind right away: hostas, camellias, hydrangeas, azaleas. I think the long narrow bed is too narrow, not deep enough. The porch is so pretty and the white trim really looks good with the shady setting. What I am going to suggest that you consider is widening that bed and maybe even including some of the trees into the bed. Make it curvy and grab a tree into the bed if it is close enough. I also like what is called island beds. And I have some where you make a big bed around a tree (don't go too deep with soil becoz of the tree roots) or connect two trees into one larger island. The National Wildlife Federation says that wildlife (like birds) like and feel safe in these islands. What about a brick path down the yard, I couldn't see where there was an entry onto the patio but a path would really connect the porch, long bed, and yard. I think you have a lovely setting there, if you're like me your only real problem is money!...See MoreCurb appeal suggestions needed
Comments (10)How about zeroscaping or xeriscaping for the front yard? However since the lawn is already dead, it's going to take time money and maintenance to do anything with it. So if the current tenants really don't care, you may as well save your money and wait until the day you want t sell or re-rent it. Unless the neighbors are complaining!

Comments (3)The picture provided is not helpful for landscape suggestions. Could you stand in front of the door, at a distance, and take another photo? We need to see the full yard and sides. After you take the first picture, stay in the same spot and take a picture aimed at the left side and then the right side. Panoramic photos will not work as they distort. Three photos is best. Is the door currently painted or natural wood? Are you willing to relocate the bench? How much time do you have to maintain a garden? I have never tired of the traditional white house with dark green trim....See Morehelp- curb appeal suggestions needed.
Comments (3)Why can't you have black shutters? Because your neighbors have them??? Is there a law in your town that you all have to have different color shutters? Anyway you have a very nice home and I happen to think it looks great with shutters. How about a very dark green?...See MoreStephanie Arzigian

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoMeet with a local landscape designer so you can address the entire plan for your home, both landscape and hardscape. It looks like your driveway could use some repair so you want to take that into account. I don't know MA plantings so I'm no help there, but I do think you could have a more inviting entry without having the asphalt run up to the steps. Maybe the parking pad could be made of different material or relocated or reshaped. This is where a great landscape designer comes in:)
I like your home very much! A little softening around the entry and larger beds with a defined walkway would really enhance your entire entrance and curb appeal.
