replacing the ' skirt 'of a front porch
Comments (3)We used brick instead of any kind of wood. The mason dug a small footer of about 8 inches and the wall is just one brick deep. It's not load bearing,obviously, but it makes the decking look more permanent. You could use stone, particularly something that's native to your part of the country....See MoreFront porch help please :)
Comments (20)Landscape Design is not a garden forum?? Coulda fooled me!! If the porch floor is 30" or more above grade, railings are a code requirement - forget about aesthetics or feeling too enclosed. But it looks from the photos like you might just slide in under that. Regardless, it is still a bit of a safety hazard, so whatever you plant to surround the porch should come up at least to that level or even slightly higher. A psychological barrier if not a physical one :-)...See MoreWhat colour for front porch railings - Help!
Comments (3)If you want them to stand out a bit, use the creamy white color of the bricks. If you want them to disappear a bit, use the darker brick color....See Morefront porch area HELP please
Comments (0)Purchased a small home to use until we start building next year. The front of the house has a terrible roof line over the porch area. Very flat and not attractive. I would like to possibly put a trio of tall planters on one side. I’m trying to draw attention away from the roof line and the front of the house. Any ideas would be very appreciated. I am a very visual person so photos or sketches would be very helpful. Thank you. Fingers crossed. :)...See MoreAngel 18432
