This is a garden I’m putting in on the west side of my house where once existed a gravel driveway/parking area. Not only will this means lots and lots of topsoil hauling, this garden required pulling up 10 feet of old sidewalk as well. I want to take the area back to lawn and plantings instead of the former driveway. The garden also includes all of the former “foundation plantings”.
