Front Entry Walk

Very NICE!!!! Like the rustic, inviting feel of the porch (love the rocker and bench). Front bed looks wonderful and I bet is just gorgeous in bloom … I am a daylilly fan too!!!

yah, very “country-ish” inviting!
I love the idea of 20 different kinds of daylilies. Very cool.

Love what you have done!
I love daylilies! I do have quite a few different colors and after 4 years, some of them have “given birth” to new colors. Yes I do let some of them go to seeds.

Last spring, we moved most of them to a new bed by the side of the driveway, and mixed in some irises!
The daylilies were great, cannot wait to see how it will all turn out this year!

Thanks.. :)

Plants include three Nandina, four Golden Globe Arborvitae and a pair of Golden Euonymus on either side. The row at the front is Monkey Grass.

I’m most likely going to pull the Arborvitae and place them elsewhere in favor of more daylilies there. Save me the trouble of keeping the Arborvitae in shape, even if it is a dwarf.

This is very nice, kinda reminds me of the front of my house. Your’s is BETTER though…

I love the statue, don’t have anything like that but I’ll be looking for something this spring/summer.

That first shot reminds me of a house we had in Fergus with a nice stone patio very close to the front door. I loved that old house.

Well done. Glad you got to keep your lilies.

I really like how your front porch is inviting. The lack of rails makes it visually appealing. I have a suggestion on how to make your rain pipe flush with the walk area. It would involve installing the whole area of a layer of bricks or pavers and make them flush or above the drain pipe, so that the pipe is between the pavers and you no longer have to worry about tripping over it. Concrete would work too. You would have to make a frame but you could also color and texture it to your desire.

My pond is made of concrete. I like working with it.

Thanks… I’m not sure that I’ll leave it rail-less forever, but who knows. Depends on what strikes my fancy..

I’m redoing the gutters on the front come spring time to better drain things. You see, that short section of gutter for that overhang also has a LONG section draining into it for the front roof.. What ever idiot laid that out needs to be smacked. I’ll be repositioning the main long gutter to drain to the left along the side of the house, where I already have an underground drain line waiting for it.

That way, I won’t have to worry so much about the water coming out of the short section (as it will not be much at all) and can drain it direct onto the concrete, which is coming up on a re-sealing here in a few days actually.

Truth be known, I’d already taken off that section of gutter along the concrete. It never drained well anyway.

Nothing like catching up on the neglect of someone else and fixing their woes.
