to your door is recommended. With a straight path, you can avoid boring concrete by decorating the lane with flower pots or beds. Keep in mind that incorporating too much will make your walkway look cluttered and disorganized. Keep a decent balance. Keep it elegant, and do not go overboard. If you are looking for something more unique, a wood walkway is suggested. Cedar, redwood, cypress, and teak are all weather- resistant wood that are perfect to create a beautiful walkway and are easy to work with and use. For a wooden walkway, you will also need pea gravel or stone to work as a base. Wooden walkways have minimal upkeep, as you only need to stain and seal once every year. Whatever you decide to do with your walkway, always ensure that there is no overgrowth around the concrete or wood. Regardless of what it is made of, go easy on the decorations and lawn ornaments. A few are a cute, fun idea that helps to make gardens and walkways pop. It is a terrible idea to bring in an entire army of them. Instead keep a limit of about 3 or 5, depending on how big your walkway is and how they merge with flowers, rocks, trees, and other aesthetics.
THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR FRONT DOOR
Repainting your front door is a small, but powerful tool to add curb appeal. Select a color that is both pretty and matches the overall style of the exterior and also amplifies it. A contrast between the overall facade of your home and the front door will ensure that your curb appeal is amped up. For example, if your house is white or gray and has black shutters, a red-painted front door will create a more mysterious essence and bring more beauty to your home.
