What happens here
Construct new steps and a decorative wall around the concrete front porch. Use 'Rivercrest' masonry blocks to build the base of the steps and the retaining wall. These blocks interlock to create a stable structure. Cap the steps with 'natural stone bullnose' pieces, which provide a finished edge and aesthetic appeal. These steps are designed to overlay and hide the existing concrete structure of the front porch, transforming its appearance.
Goal: Build new steps and a stone facade to hide the existing concrete front porch.
