Front Porch Improvements - Recommendations Please

[Davonu]

We live in an Allamanda with the basic front porch. We would like to expand and improve the porch, considering appropriate landscaping, furnishings, and any other relevant issues.

Recommendations for the specifics of the improvements, contractors, and any other advice you wish to share are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Several houses in my neighborhood have a screened in front porch.
