URGENT: Need help decide river rock size for front yard
Comments (5)Not sure here - do you want a walkable area? Do you want to lead water away from the house? Just for looks? You could do crushed gravel on most of it, and do a "river" with the larger rocks. Perhaps large rocks to delineate the perimeter of the "river" - smaller rocks to fill in the river area.

Comments (4)Both you and your neighbor have exactly the same need for a tree that frames the houses. Whoever installs it first pretty much gets to control what and where it is. It should not be too much in front of the house, because the goal is not to block the view to the house. If you drew lines extending the face of the house to the lot line and one from the house corner to the lot line at a diagonal, the tree could go anywhere in that zone over to just your side of the lot line. The larger the tree is, the farther from the house you'd want it. A tree that reached 30' would be fine, but it would be OK if it got taller, too. You'd just keep limbs trimmed to well clear the house and roof. You also have a need for a street tree that could be an even larger species. It could go anywhere in the right half of the parkway. Undoubtedly, you have similar needs at the left side of the house....See MoreHELP - I need help deciding on storm door/front door combo color.

Comments (13)These suggestions are very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I’m concerned about introducing a more brown color with our gray roof...does that still work? And I love our zinc planters but will those need to be changed if we switch to a dark brown door. So much more to think about than I realized and we are obviously very deep into the project!🤪Also, Here is a before pic...there are a ton of 90’s red brick homes in our neighborhood so I wanted something that felt fresh....See Moreaoliver75
