FIRST IMPRESSIONS





Whether you are staying in your home or getting ready to sell it, the statement your home makes from the curb is what gives people their first impression of you and your living space.  The landscape and entry of your home are like the suit you would wear to a job interview. An entry has potential to say something about the people who live there as well as being inviting and drawing you in. 

Needless to say, a special front door in a beautiful wood or an accent color makes a home stand out.  If you have a courtyard entry a handcrafted gate in a style to complement your home is a good idea.  Having beautiful colored perennials or pots with accent plants in them flanking either side of an entry walk also can be an affordable way to make your entry stand out from others.  Whether your home is traditional or contemporary there are many ways to give your home curb appeal with plant material, gates, masonry, and front doors.
