Here's how they accomplish it:

• Remove vertical beams and replace with a single horizontal beam to open up entryway
  
• Take out the old concrete path, porch and driveway and pour red-toned concrete to give the yard color
  
• Build a retaining wall made from interlocking blocks and install outdoor lighting to give the walkway better visibility
