I've got little space to work with and no front lawn (trees/shrubs/flowers and barkdust), so the project should be relatively easy.
My thought was to take some photos and post to a landscaping forum for ideas, but then I wonder if that annoys those whose passion is landscaping, or if they would say I should be paying for expert opinion.
Among my biggest concerns is that the irrigation was not moved when the yard was "redesigned". I've got sprinklers popping up from the gravel pathway, and sprinklers that are set about 1' inside of the edge of the lawn, missing all the plants along the fenceline and some of the lawn.
The south side is about 15' wide between house and fence and has raised beds installed, but nothing planted. It slopes heavily toward the west. I'd want the most hands off stuff planted possible since I don't want to spend much time there. Automatic drip irrigation would be easy to install though since the valves/control is already installed nearby.
