How To Revive A City Stoop

Resources: Jenn recommends removing weeds by hand or with a spray of vinegar, salt, and dish soap. Jenn used fiberglass planters for durability outside. She started with a layer of marble chips for drainage, then filled the containers with a mix of potting soil and compost. For the plants, Jenn used two kousa dogwoods underplanted with coleus. On the stairs, she planted a dwarf crape myrtle. Jenn added low voltage landscape lighting under the trees for safety and drama. All of the tools and materials for this project can be found at garden centers and nurseries.
