Paint your front door a striking, welcoming color to give
your Curb Appeal a personal touch. If the door has panels,
paint accent lines around them for added beauty. If the door
has no panels, give it a modern look for less than it would
cost to buy a new door by creating panels from molding.
Complete the look with a welcome plaque hung in the middle
of the door.
#8. Rock Border:
Border the driveway with rocks to give the Curb Appeal a
more defined look. Buy bags of rocks at your local home
improvement store, or achieve the same result for less by
collecting rocks in nature or your garden.
#9. Lighting:
Illumination is especially important in winter when darkness
can fall early in the afternoon. A string of cascading white
lights hung from the eaves of a home will cost less than
garden lights, while still granting a welcoming Curb Appeal.
#10. Weed Regularly:
Simply weeding a yard regularly will add Curb Appeal to the
front garden. Use weed killer or pull the weeds out after
the rain, for a less toxic approach.
#11. Mulch:
Mulch costs far less than seasonal flowers and fills gaps
between existing plants no less effectively. Spreading mulch
liberally gives a Curb Appeal symmetry and uniformity, while
promoting weed control.
