Forgot to mention he lives close to a Home Depot and they have the white vinyl railings with nicely proportioned finial balls on the posts. He's ok with that. Wish someone could use one of my photos and draw that for him to give him the visual. I tried to draw it and failed miserably.

Speaking of bad drawings. This is one of the few ideas I had. Thought was to eliminate him having to use a weed wacker around his stoops and patio. Poor drawing but his stoops are about 4" above grade. Concrete patio is about 4" above grade too. My thoughts were to recess a soldier row of bricks that are the color he painted the foundation (red common bricks?) into the ground flush with the grade. Might finish off those areas a little bit and would look nice if it was followed through to around the back too by the door to the garage. Just a thought.
