Dear Garden Lovers;
About 19 years ago we covered our front, side and back yard with rocks to keep down the maintenance. We put a strong tarp underneath the rocks to keep the weeds from growing.
On the left side of the house is a long retaining wooden wall. It's painted red stain and is 4ft x 60ft. It was originally built for growing flowers but we never seriously grew flowers so it is just remained a long wooden wall with soil inside. Weeds grow inside so every two weeks my 15 year old nephew pulls the weeds.
I want to do a complete cosmetic of our yard but unfortunately am not very creative. A professional landscaper has ideas but are very expensive starting at $10k.
I want a low maintenance yard, ideally with shaven wooden chips or little pond rocks to give the yard a nice look. Getting rid of the old rocks (medium size 2"x2" average) would take up about 2 bins to haul away.
If anyone has innovative ideas about Home and Garden, I would appreciate whatever you can share and I may try to do the work myself.
God bless you all and thank you.
