My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Landscape Ideas with high front porch

4 years ago

Good afternoon. I have a small front porch with 8 steps. I’m looking for landscape ideas. I like the looks of a retaining wall on the left side because of the slope. The other side of the steps has flat ground. Do you have any ideas on what I can do ?

    Good Morning...yes, a retaining wall would be a great idea. You could also use boulders depending on the height you are looking for. A Landscape company that does "Hardscaping" would be your best source for such a project
