Problem
When the walk from the car ends right at a bare garage wall or a plain stretch of driveway, arriving home feels cold and neglected.
Solution
Shape the parking spot and the path from it to the house as a small, pleasant passage, planted or partly covered, rather than letting it shrink into a mere driveway.
