Similar to the back patio, we had needed for several years to make improvements to our front walkway. The mortar was crumbling between the bricks and it was literally beginning to fall apart. Our single step had sunk a few inches, about the spacing of one brick, making going up and down the step more of a hazard as it was steep walking up or down!

One of the biggest changes Kevin wanted to make was to enlarge our steps and porch area so that it took up the entire width of the bump out at the front door. We also wanted a larger walk leading to the step itself. We are super happy with how it all turned out and that it was able to be done yet this year – in the month of December nonetheless! We also added up lighting on the house, down lights on the steps, and up lighting to a couple of trees in the front yard as well.

Choosing the color for the front was rather challenging as our brick is a funky color to try to coordinate with. Amy came over and helped us narrow down our options and we selected a particular paver only to find out there wasn’t enough inventory to do our project and no more was going to be produced. Ugh! So Matt gave us a few other options and we chose a new color, but it wasn’t going to be available until the 3rd week of December. However, after the walkway around to the back patio was complete we looked at how the walk looked alongside the chimney area we thought it looked like it went really well. So we yet again hit up 9Trees and asked to change the paver to the same Fossil color we used in the back.

And now for the pictures!
