The exterior of your home is a snapshot to the rest of the world on what the interior of your home might be like. While your home doesn't necessarily need to be the pride of the neighborhood, you want to be able to enjoy the outside of your home as much as the inside. Your front yard and the face of your home should have a sense of "curb appeal". This is your home's equivalent to its first impression. The sense of pride you feel for your home will only exist if you love the way it looks from the outside. Your backyard should be a retreat for you and your family, so you'll want to enhance those features that give you the feeling of a home away from home. A sort of vacation home that is just steps from your back door. The projects featured in this section will help you get there.
