There is a very obvious space for a front sidewalk, there just isn't one there. As far as I know and from photos of our house in previous years, there hasn't ever been a front walk of any kind. Perhaps it is time, yes?
When considering the options, there's a lot to consider. (hmm, that sounds funny.) Do you use poured concrete, or pavers, or brick. And if you use something like brick or pavers, what pattern do you get? If you use concrete do you put a step at the end of the walk that goes on to the main sidewalk? Oh geez. Yet again, more things to contemplate. What a "disaster". Here are some photos of options that I'd consider.

So, what do you think?
My advice - don't do concrete. We've got it at our house and it just looks like a sidewalk. For your house, I like the second option. I'm craving a new walk as well.
ReplyDeleteooh herringbone! that would be neat. the second pattern is good too. i totally think you should do a festive pattern that's more exciting than the standard rows of bricks.
