take out those plants in the front and the steps combine the existing stoops into a larger raised patio that is the same height as the current stoops make sure the whole thing is covered in a red toned reclaimed brick and all the same height as the stoops ok now add gradual steps that bring it down to the level of the grass make that level large enough for a dining table and a grill and widen the step to the same height across the width of the patio
