Give my house 'curb appeal'

we haven’t gotten very far… summers been really hot.

My fiance & I have been working on our front yard… we do not have a walk way to our front door, which means that people have to walk past our garbage and recyclables through the garage to come in. I hate it. Justin’s goal is to have the walk way and landscaping done by the door by the end of summer. My goal is to get all the weeds out of our flower beds and get them ready to plan next spring. I think it will take me all summer to get this done!!
