AspenShadow's Front Yard garden

The front yard is currently a normal grass yard with 4 trees on a serious hill. Over the next few weeks our landscaper is going to put in a walkway/steps from the street to the front door, with a small sitting area half way up as a resting point. Once he finishes with the hardscape and the nice sized trees, I’m looking forward to having this new area for planting. We will only keep a small amount of grass as part of the easement.
