Wouldn’t it be nice to approach your home’s entrance with a grin instead of a grimace? One way to do that is by installing a new front door from Lifetime Windows and Doors! Take our tips for beating a clear, safe, and stylish path to your front door.
1. Clear the way for curb appeal. The path to your front door should be at least 3 feet wide so people can walk shoulder-to-shoulder, with an unobstructed view and no stumbling hazards. So get out those loppers and cut back any overhanging branches or encroaching shrubs.
2. Light the route. Landscape lighting makes it easy to get around at night. Solar-powered LED lights you can just stick in the ground, requiring no wiring, are suprisingly inexpensive. $45 for a pack of 8, lowes.com.
