Curb Appeal Help
Comments (18)What's your zone? I'd start with something along the garage wall, in the ground. Who wants to fuss with grass there anyway. Maybe an inexpensive piece of metal art to hang on the garage wall? I know the big ones can get pricey . . . That's enough for the first year. Low hanging fruit. Delineate the little dirt patch/garden bed to the right of the garage as a dedicated garden. Some type of edging. I like edging bricks but they sell plastic edging too, and metal. Plant a few colorful annuals and some type of nice dwarf shrub or something colorful for that garden. Lay down some Preen" to keep the weeds out, and then mulch it up real nice. I suggest undyed hardwood fines/shredded bark or the stuff they sell in the big box as "compost" or "garden soil." Avoid anything labeled cypress. Weed the rest of the grass behind that, seed in the patch areas, and after that gets established, throw down a correct amount of fertilizer, organic if you can find it. Call it good for this year. Later you can add some decorative planters for color if you don't mind the constant fertilizing and watering and deadheading to keep them looking nice....See MoreI seriously need some curb appeal help.

Of course, if you take your unmown lawn with an odd hump in it and add lots of flowers in the sun, even an eyesore looks good....See MoreWindow/Siding replacement curb appeal help
Comments (4)Eliminate that bow window & the shutters. Select a siding color from the colors in your brick That 3" siding was always the wrong choice for a siding width. Select a 5 or 7 inch width I might consider window frames other than white for your home. I'd probably select bronze for the windows....See MoreCurb Appeal HELP!!
Comments (1)In general, I'm not a fan of replacing columns, but I think beefier white columns will look a lot better. Then, I'd paint the blue the same as the purple. After that, some chairs on the porch (blue to match the siding if you don't paint it and some pots of flowers....See MoreYonder Way Designs
