Hello! Our front yard really needs some love and attention, see picture 1.
We planted some daffodils a few years ago, or more emphasis on "tried" really. The house is a new build and... When you start digging you just encounter a whole bunch of rock/stones, let's just say the ground isn't fantastic.
I'm thinking of making a raised bed with stones, see picture 2 for the inspo.
What my thoughts are:
- dig out the grass as best as I can
- Lay cardboard on top to hopefully start a new "fresh" layer
- start stacking stones in a desireable shape and add easy cement in-between the stones so it stays, 4-5 stone rows high
- add in fresh compost
- add plants/flowers that are shade and wind resistant
Am I crazy to think I can do this as someone who has never done any landscaping before?
Thoughts are oh so welcome!
