Decorative Garden House

Advise on changing from decorative chip stones to a flowerbed?

Hi, we moved into our house last summer and the family that owned it had a trampoline at the bottom of the garden. They used decorative chip stones to cover the area under the trampoline. The trampoline is long gone and now weeds are growing through the stones.

Hi:
I am a landscaper and designer. You have the right idea. What I recommend to my clients is to remove as many of the wood stones as you can. Purchase some weed killer, apply and wait up to one week for the weed killer to eliminate all the roots of the weeds. You can go ahead and til over the area. Til over a few times as the more you work your soil, the better environment this will be for a healthy garden. Doing these steps is critical in the preparation stage of any landscape project.

Rake out your area and make sure you space your flowers properly. I will link you to the plan – prep – plant page of my website. This is a simple method to do any style garden. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other articles, tips and techniques that may help you with your flower garden. Make sure you get on a good watering schedule after you plant, and you can finish off the garden with pine straw or mulch. Have a great day!
