That is what I am planing to do. I will do some raised bed in front of stump and behind the flowers, so I can run some clematis. I can't dig there so I am doing some compost and will use that for raised bed. That is my front yard on the fourth picture, the grass is green and lush for the first time. The front was nothing but weed and the bushess where high front of window. I had the picket fence put in to keep the stray dogs away. Then I dug up the grass in front of the yard which is city property. so now I am in flowers all the way. In front of my house is a large Jap. Maple, I use that for my 20+ hostas, but will transfer them next Spring in the back where I still have one tree and enough shade. It is never a dull moment, also it is hard because my helper is not well, so all the work was up to me. I even learned how to ley sod, which I don't recoment to do in the Summer. Etelka
