Your house is very beautiful.........and your ideas are good.

I would build a 4' to 5' wide interlocking paving sidewalk straight out to the sidewalk.

Plant a large tree off to the side of the house.

Paint your door a deep color .........perhaps a dark blue or a very deep red......

Enlarge the foundation beds. Wind the walkway so it reaches mid driveway. Brick walkway and entrance landing.

There is not a lot of color in the landscaping so I would try to add some variegated or colored plants to break up the green. Don't put a tree too close to the house. Look up how large whatever tree grows so that it doesn't brush the house.

Thank you. We used to have 2 large trees in the front yard and as you can see the yard is not that big. The roots were taking over and we had them removed. But, now too bare.

If I put in a brick entrance and walkway would you suggest a bed in "front" of it (closest to the street) or would that just cover up the pretty brick.

Yes put a bed in front also. When you use the walkway, it will be like walking through a garden. You can use pavers or bricks, up to you. Aspen Falls shows a lovely example
