Curb Appeal

After eight years of redesigning the interior of our house, we decided to invest a little (or more than a little) on the outside of our house. The updates included a new vinyl fence, new landscaping and a lot of pavers. The paver work included adding a front patio and walkway, changing out the pavers around the front oak tree, an extended paver driveway that continues into a walkway to the back of the house, and a new patio in the backyard. They should also help a lot with some previous drainage problems.

Front of the house.

New pavers around the oak.

Driveway pavers extend down the side of the house.

New paver patio in the back yard.

We've wanted to use the exterior of our house for so long, now we'll be able to sit outside and enjoy. After the winter we're going to sod the back yard and then it will be complete.

Ma,

We didn't do any of it. I already failed at a fence. It took four workers a week straight to get the paver work done... I'd still be working on the driveway!
