This is the front entrance to our house. Not too fancy! We added on to the house last year, so this summer we hope to finish up by getting a real walkway and a real step to the entry (although the plywood ramp certainly has had its moments!) I wanted to post a "before" photo here so that as progress is made I can document what we are doing and share the results. We have a meeting with our landscape company on Thursday for (what I hope is) the final meeting before the project can begin. Of course they are scheduling projects about 6 weeks out so our work most likely won't begin until July 1, but it shouldn't take too long once it starts.
We are looking at a cobblestone-looking paver for the walkway, a small area for some chairs and small table, and a variety of shade-loving plants to dress it all up. A year ago we had a pro give us recommendations of what would work in that area since it is so sheltered and gets such little direct sunlight. I will be doing the planting myself (which ought to be fun, I'm really not much of a gardener) and hopefully it will all be beautiful when we are done! No matter what it will be better than what we have now.
Check back for updates!!

I look forward to the updates! We have all woodland plantings in front of our house because we had several large oak trees--it was total shade. Now that four have succumbed to oak wilt, we have too much sun for what is planted there. I hope the hostas survive.
