My front garden is primarily lawn, there's a small tree, a nice hydrangea and a path.
There is also a small bed about a foot wide all around the front of the house edged with wood which has split/rotted. The bed is full of weeds, a climbing rose, a yellow flowering plant that falls over and a couple of other plants that could be weeds.
I'm thinking of pulling out all the plants in this narrow bed and getting ball buxus and lollipop bays. Having the bays next to the windows and the balls under the windows (probably 3 buxus I guess). My house is long and thin, so there are 3 windows that would need this. I'm then thinking I'd gravel the earth, but this might be a bad idea as I've cats. I'd also need to replace or pull out the wood trim.
I'm not green fingered, I've a gardener who is pretty rubbish (he just mows), but I'd like to do more, but I'm aware of my huge lack of skill/time.
Does my plan sound dreadful?
