Front Wall
We could have re-done the front garden with some new dirt, plants and mulch, but we weren't happy with the overall layout and look. Also, the front sidewalk had settled 4 inches, leaving an enormous step. We settled on colonial flagstone for both the wall and sidewalk. We were most surprised at how long it took to stack the stones in the wall. But, in the end, we think the upgrade was worth it.(click on thumbnails for full size image)

We decided we wanted a small garden on the side for tall flowers/vines |
