The Mailbox Makeover to Boost Curb Appeal

Create a Walkway with Steppers

Boost Curb Appeal with Border Edging
Border edging adds character and appeal around your flowerbeds or trees. It is great for preventing grass from invading your designated space, while being visually appealing. There are countless patterns for laying your stone, making the possibilities endless.
Creating Beauty with Fresh Mulch
Mulch is great for preventing weed and moisture attacks on plants while enhancing the overall look for your landscape. If you’re looking to improve your curb appeal, adding fresh mulch is aesthetically attractive and defines your space.
Transform Your Driveway
There are different stones that can be used for functionality and beauty to create a stunning driveway. Pea gravel, marble chips and river rock are some of the most popular and cost-effective options for driveways. In order to keep loose stones from straying around the edges, you can build a border for the driveway with brick or cobblestone. The beauty of gravel is that is can be replenished easily and is less vulnerable to damage from seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause significant cracking and settling in solid driveway materials.
Stunning Stone Features
Adding a stone feature such as a water feature or natural sculpture can be a centerpiece to the landscape around your home. It will draw the eye to the most beautiful areas and give you something to enjoy yearlong.
