5. Erect stone entry walls. Low stone walls are striking features that can define your entry and guide visitors up the walk. Natural stone is ideal but difficult to set. The decorative concrete units shown here are relatively inexpensive ($8 per square foot of wall area) and easy to install. They subtly separate seating areas from public sidewalks and streets. And they're also great places for casual seating and potted plants.
