Hey peacock1,

Do you have a walkway in front of your townhouse? Yes? Then if i am not wrong you have to keep the grass from street to walkway part as per the city rules.

Desi pros, correct me if i am wrong. I just heard abt this part.

Good ways to increase curb appeal include.... Flowerbeds.... Plants... Potted plants.... Ornate big lights.... Walkway..... Feature centre-piece such as statue/fountain.....ornate solar lamps (expensive but nice).....

Google for front door ideas....railings /hedges.... Take your car and go for a spin in one of better neighbourhoods..... Check out those you like.... Note down what you liked....... Always remember to stick to a theme.... Be it colour or symmetry.... Then when you bring it all
together ..... It looks cohesive and appealing...



Thanks geetakhanna, for you detailed response, that shall help indeed,

Good pointers....
Anyway it is your curb side, try out different things/themes. At the most it will look ugly for a year or 2 but once you get it, you will be happy to spend time (and money as well).
I like annuals over perennials it is litte bit more money but gives choices. lots of Marigold and zania always looked good though. Also these flowers comes in handy during Dussera

Thanks Peacock and Bhoothnath... I have a fairly new house.... So I too have gone/going through this process.....

As regards annuals and perrenials... I have set a rule for myself..... All perrenials in the ground.... All annuals in the pot..... In this case....each year the pots come out.... Or not if you are not up to it.....plus you can move the plants around depending on the occasion.....and for versatility.....
