The flowerbeds in front of my house could use some work.
I’d like to replace what I’ve got with some colorful plants, but I’m not sure what to pick that’s appropriate for the environment or even what sort of design guidelines to follow that will lead to a handsome result. Would anyone care to offer some suggestions? This side of the house gets plenty of sun and faces South. The location is in Essex County, New Jersey.
Damn, who put that grass in your flowerbed? 😕
There’s no grass in the flowerbeds, just mulch, weeds, and three shrubs each. Or, are you trying to make a point about how I should get rid of the grass on my front lawn?
Hell yeah! MULCH FOR THE MULCH GOD, FLOWERS FOR THE FLOWER THRONE.
I kind of like the idea of getting rid of the lawn, but that’s a bigger project than I want. Also, my neighbors and I get enough rain that our front yards stay green enough without any watering. Besides mowing, which I enjoy, it’s basically maintenance free.
