Rejuvenate your home

Picture

Could this be your home? A mid century bungalow with full grown spruce and ash and a slight hill to the street? Is the original sidewalk heaving from roots, steep and narrow? There are ways to add a little charm to the aging landscaping and add some curb appeal. 
In this image we added a front deck so the family could enjoy the view of the park across the street. A wide sidewalk replaced the broken one, moved over to allow guests to walk unhindered by the large full grown trees, leading to the newly painted front door. The low hill was retained and a small step added to make the entry formal and clean. The final step was to add some plants for color. Spring blooming lilacs along the deck. Two matching blooming verburnum, or cranberry to the top of the steps.Simple beautiful neat plants
