Even though you live inside your house, you want the outside to have a certain level of curb appeal. However, there is a fine line between overdoing it in your yard and not doing enough. You want your home to stand out beautifully from the rest, but having too many lawn features will look like a mess. Not only that, but you don’t have the cash flow to spend thousands of dollars on professional landscaping. Just doing a few small, cost-effective outdoor projects can make a difference in the overall appearance of your home. Besides, sprucing up the exterior of your home will also make it more charming for future buyers if you’re ever interested in selling. Check out these simple DIY curb appeal projects that you can complete in a weekend.

50. Install a Clear Path
Here is one of many fast and easy outdoor projects that will upgrade your curb appeal. Having a lovely walkway leading up to your front door or porch will make your home look welcoming and put together. No one wants to walk through a muddy path in your front lawn to say hi. Sprucing it up and making it look cleaner as you walk up to your front door is always a pleasant hello to anyone who sees it. If there isn’t mud all over to walk through, you don’t have to worry about tracking dirt into your house.

The great thing about walkways is that you can make them uniquely yours, using wood, stone, or any other materials you think would go well with your home’s aesthetic. You can make your walkway say a lot about who you are as a person if you wish it to. Make it as creative or even as simple as you’d like, even. However, don’t worry if it’s not looking as nice as you wish it did. It doesn’t mean anything against you, either. Some people don’t even really have walkways going up to their front steps.
