Outside of the foundation of a split level home in a cold climate. It is currently an old planter made with pavers and is filled with overgrown weeds that I've started to hack away at. Above that is painted two inch foam board that meets the siding. The foam board is barely attached to the concrete foundation, and I pulled a section off easily with one hand. Potential options I'm considering:

1. Ripping away planter:

A. Renewing the tar on the foundation and painting to match the siding.

B. Renewing the tar and adding siding to the ground.

C. Renewing the tar and adding new 2" foam board to the ground.

2. Leaving planter and powerwashing and cleaning it, ripping away weeds and top layer of dirt. Adding in new dirt, weed block fabric, and landscaping bark:

A. Renewing the tar and adding new foam board anove the planter.

B. Renewing the tar and painting to match siding with no foam board above.

Any thoughts are appreciated!
