What happens here
The first step in making sense of two back doors, as seen in the video, is to plan the entire outdoor space. This involves assessing the existing separate door landings and designing a unified layout that connects them seamlessly with a central raised planter. Select hardscaping materials that complement the existing house and patio. The video mentions Unilock U-Cara for the wall components and Unilock Universal Coping for step treads and planter tops. Also, consider the accent pavers that will be used for the door landing areas to provide visual contrast and definition.
Goal: Create a detailed design plan for the integrated steps, landings, and planter.
