Curb appeal idea.
Comments (13)Dig Doug's Designs, as usual, has the right idea. A plant near the stoop of that second front door and the sidewalk or paver path curving around in front of it toward a point in the driveway where the car doors would be if a visitor parked in the driveway in front of the garage would enhance curb appeal and direct visitors, physically as well as visually to the actual front entry door. You could "block" the closer sidewalk (rather than remove it) with potted plants or even a bench on one end -- you might find a bench or other seat for that space -- reasonably priced -- at Habitat for Humanity Restore Store near you. Or. If you are a DIY person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y12psLC230I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuiuJLbZBh4...See MoreNeed help with ideas for painting/curb appeal ideas for our house
Comments (6)I love the current green, and the yellow front door! The uniformity of the green allows the garage car-doors and people-door to blend in. I'd remove the fence unless it is serving a purpose (which I don't see). For safety, ensure the visibility of your house numbers from the street. Is there anything you'd like to add out front, such as a sitting space, a cover or a bench near either door? (I don't see the need for anything, it's just what functionality you would like.) For landscaping suggestions, re-post your picture, include your planting zone, the direction your house faces (East?), and a nearby major city so that people can make practical recommendations, and hope that a professional gives you a pretty picture to go by :-) Nice house!...See MoreCheapish Curb Appeal Ideas??
Comments (35)On a tight budget it's worthwhile to see if it makes sense to use what you already have. The photo is blurred but it appears that you have three concrete ribbons, one of which leads to the front door, plus about $200 worth of pavestone blocks stacked up against the house. There are lots of landscaping possibilities in between the ribbons. You can create a welcoming entry and seating area by placing stepping stones and low spreading plants or grass in between the ribbons, or adding a few plants and rocks, etc. The paverstone blocks can be used to define beds along the front. A garden hose is handy to help you decide on the shape - be sure to watch how-to videos on how to stack them so they're level and tidy. Trim the shrubs, making sure they aren't covering any windows. Fill in the beds with smaller, less expensive plants - they'll grow. House numbers, larger light fixture(s), a new mailbox and a bench or seating vignette to the left of the entry will help update it too....See Moreside-of-house front door, need curb appeal ideas
Comments (10)Your visitors need to be guided to your front door. Take out the overgrown shrubs and, as has been suggested here, re think the sidewalk to your front door. This can be done by widening both the bed in front of your house AND installing a wide sidewalk (modern paving stones) to the right side of your home. With planting beds on the street side of the pathway. You might consider low level lighting, too, to guide your guests to the right door. As has been suggested…placing your house numbers in a more obvious place, making them larger, and lighting them will help people see where they should enter. Have you ever considered creating a gate across the front of your carport? One that could be opened (or even have a small gate for family access) so that people see that area as “private?” Just a thought. Note: Installing a sidewalk to the street in front of your home, as some have suggested, only works IF your neighborhood has sidewalks. Many neighborhoods do not have them....See MoreK Laurence
