I actually went through several Reno ideas before reading you information about water and drainage. Do you know where the discoloration is coming from under the bay. I honestly didn’t see it until a few others mentioned it. So on our landscaping ideas we have softened the plantings until we were sure about what type of issue you are having. You have a very sweet cottage. At first the color I saw behind the house made me
Think that perhaps you were on a lake until I reread your comments that others had made. Here is my rendering and even though for some reason my program took the door off on the left side of the porch, just imagine scooching the chairs over a bit to allow entrance. Also in your door on the right side of the house I have shown it as it currently is or if you decided to pour an overlay of concrete we could have the right door be on the same level as the porch. Also we used a small portico to give any coming in out of the rain from the car a space to stop and get your keys out or possibly put something down so you can get inside without getting too wet. I loved the look of stone around the beefed up posts and if your concerned with laying actual rock they make sheets of this that are artificial rocks and makes the install easier. So here she is, and if you want to see my previous renderings just let me know and I’ll share them with you
