You know how it is when you move into a new place, there is so much you have to do to just get settled, then if you were like us you immediately tore the kitchen apart and did a full remodel, just when that was done you had the pool installed.  Now it is time to look at the front yard and make some plans for adding a little curb appeal.  We also have a few areas around the pool that need some attention.  First Things First!!!  Let's look at the front yard.

The movers sat that big pot by the front pillar when they moved us and it has just sat there ever since.  Next to it are those bushes that have never been cared for and really need to be removed.
To refresh your memory this is a picture from the MLS Listing.   Not sure when that was taken since the house was only on the market for a week before we bought it,but those grasses in the front were long gone before we saw the house.  At any rate, this leaves a whole lot to be desired regarding curb appeal.

I have been searching for some ideas to create a nice walkway alongside the driveway and to do away with those bushes in front of the window and perhaps create a space for a small bench or something.  Here are a few that I liked.
