Front Porches
There’s something charming about a home with a front porch. Porches provide a great space for relaxing, entertaining, and greeting guests. By adding a front porch, you are able to create a smooth transition from the front yard to the interior of your home.
Walkways
Create direction with a walkway leading up to your front door. Walkways are not only functional, they can also create a beautiful focal point in your yard. Pavers are a great option for walkways because they come in so many colors and sizes. You can arrange them in different ways to get a really unique and eye-catching look.
Driveways
Most people assume that their options are slim when it comes to constructing driveways- and that couldn’t be further from the truth! Say goodbye to plain old concrete. For an upscale look, consider using pavers or even decorative concrete.
Retaining Walls
One way to dramatically improve your curb appeal is by adding a retaining wall. Retaining walls are not only used to border trees and flower beds, they’re also a great option for homeowners with a large slope in their yard. These walls not only offer great curb appeal; they also help prevent erosion.
Water Features
Adding a water feature to your front yard adds a calming element. Fountains can offer soothing rhythmic sounds that will surely please any guest. Not only are water features aesthetically pleasing, they also provide a great source for bird watching.
