Thanks Dfm. I always admire houses with steps but I don’t have steps just elevated level to my door that’s why I’m finding hardHelpful Reply -

I'm on a slab and step envious too! I kind of line the edge of the garden closest to the sidewalk leading up to the house with assorted pots of plants that behave themselves (don't need a lot of pruning). I've also included a lot of scented plants such as scented geraniums, lavender, herbs, etc so if they get brushed up against they release a wonderful scent ~ which has received many compliments in the past :)Helpful Reply -

What if you added dimension by putting planters on plant stands? or raised planters to give it the look of not all being flat? I think you can add some nice color and dimension that way- keep us posted!Helpful Reply -
