Updating an old concrete carport
Money-Saver: "Cleaning up your yard—mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, sweeping the steps—hugely boost curb appeal and doesn't cost a thing." —Jill Simmons, Zillow Landscaping: Darci and Matt saved all their mature trees but swapped everything else in favor of tidy boxwoods mixed with rose and hydrangea bushes for a lush look that doesn't overwhelm the walkway.Landscape lighting and a new gravel path make it easy to get around, even at night.A drab exterior can make you cringe every time you approach the front door, while a handsome, thoughtfully designed one can turn the experience into a true pleasure.The good news is that you don't have to spend a bundle to enjoy a happy trip up your walkway.Measure each side or wall of the porch to find the midpoint.Snap a chalkline from each midpoint to the midpoint of the opposite wall.

Sand or plane high spots on wood porches and grind high spots or clumps of cement on a concrete porch.
