Our house came with a combination entry walk/ porch that was a little crowded for my liking. I personally like front porches that are generous, celebrated places that have the potential to activate community. This lead us to separate our entry walk from our porch. My Dad helped with the digging. Thanks, Dad! Eric and I went to a few stone yards to pick out the stone. Then we installed the flagstone path our very selves. We also put in switch grass for visual interest and biomass along with gypsophilia (baby's breath) for a historic throw back to what was grown on our neighbors land way back when Wheat Ridge was carnation capitol of the world.
Check out the different scales and textures of stones!
Of course, we gleaned our design inspiration from the internet.

Looks great! I want to come visit some time and see it in person, though that probably won't be for a year or so.
