Susen Gail on Jul 01, 2015A pergola is also my suggestion. We just built one over our backdoor/steps, extending the porch about 10 feet on each side. Everyone loves it.Helpful Reply

Funnygirl on Jul 01, 2015I love the pergola idea,I would add some type of cover so you don't get wet opening the door or waiting for someone to answer the door. I would also put a bench on either side facing each other.Nice place to put down packages,or waiting to be picked up.I would put benches that have high backs with a small shelf so I could put some lanterns non electric to light the area up at night.Good place for a pumpkin too!Helpful Reply

Patty S on Jul 02, 2015We did the pergola idea last year. It really woke up our house and made it look a lot larger.Helpful Reply

Sue McGee on Jul 03, 2015You could try surrounding the alcove and the entrance to it with plantings and large pots/urns with taller plants or topiaries, treat the area as if there is a porch there. If you need to expand the "landing area" around or in front of the concrete pad (assuming there is a concrete pad) use pea gravel in a similar color to your concrete around the pad.Helpful Reply
