I live in orlando and have a black thumb. I want to make my front yard look pretty for the spring/summer without having to maintain it very much. Of course my husband can cut shrubs but if it requires watering, it’ll probably die. What can I put here to make it look put together? I was thinking black mulch and some small plants/flowers, but don’t know which kinds. I would be replacing everything above that red line in the pic.
