HELP!! I am not a gardener but appreciate a kept yard. Have not been able to grow grass, only weeds in this small area. Looking for advice on what to do with this small area in front of my house. It slopes down towards house. Was thinking of maybe a kidney shaped stone wall that would extend around mailbox and then add shrubs? Take out monkey grass? Extend stone path between house and island? Ugh daughter graduates and having a party here in 1 month. Willing to roll up my sleeves and get busy, just need direction
