How to Renovate a House (with landscaping)

What happens here

Shift focus to the front yard. Remove all overgrown trees, bushes, and shrubs that obscure the house or appear unsightly. The aim is to make the house visible and presentable. Eliminate any outdated landscaping elements like white landscape rock, which can make the property look old and unappealing. Also, remove any old or gaudy fixtures such as blue and white striped window shades, as these detract from a clean, modern aesthetic. The goal is a simplified, open, and visually appealing front facade that feels fresh and inviting.

Goal: Open up the front of the house and remove outdated landscaping elements.
