Ruby, I am still thinking about your design, and the thought of keeping the front low so you can enjoy John's beautiful stone work from the deck. Also cutting back on the mowing. What about a fan shape, the narrow part towards The Monument with flat stones to pick up the stone work in the monument then planting Blue Star Creeper among the stones, you would have to kill off the grass.

I have a small patch of Blue Star, bought it from Bluestone, it is in an very small wedge spot between the patio and walkway to the garage. It can be walked on, likes a moist but well drained soil. The stones would hold in the moisture, I think, depending on how much space between the stones and the type of soil you have.
I took a picture of my Blue Star it gets better each year, planted just 3 plants about 5 years ago.
