Need Help with improving kerb appeal!
Comments (66)Hi All, Here's an update. The hedges have settled in nicely over the last 4 years (has it really been that long already?!) They had a trim at the weekend, not the best time of year to cut Phontinia I know, but they had gotten a little out of control.. I intend to add a gate over the next few months and continue to plant the beds along the house. They currently have hydrangea and French lavender plants (oh and the odd azalea) in them but need more. Also going to plant a border of box around each of the beds the trees on the lawn are in - hence why these look a little scruffy at the mo.. I've considered growing something on the walls, but still not sure what or how. Each summer I add two hanging baskets either side of the front door - which help break it up a little. Still very much a work in progress (aren't they always ;-) ) but I like it. Thanks for all the comments, ideas and suggestions - much appreciated!...See MoreHelp with exterior of house, facade needs more curb appeal!

Comments (6)Hi does your budget allow for painting the render? If so I would paint an off white and maybe have the cladding sprayed grey. I would also pressure wash the path and have a good tidy up around the plants possibly create a bed beneath it. Adding a few potted plants on the deck and perhaps a sail for partial shade....See MoreNeed help improving curb appeal
Comments (7)Definitely get some plants back in there. However it looks like your photos are before and after removing plants along the boundary so perhaps this isn’t part of the plan. Could you plant some low shrubs under the window and mulch them with gravel to suppress the weeds? Including additional areas of gravel where the cars aren’t generally parked would help to soften all that expanse of hard landscaping. You could then plant ground hugging plants, that don’t mind being driven over on occasion, into the gravel....See Morekppa
