I'll be (continuing) to play with stones, rocks and gravel later today, when it warms up a bit (currently only 15°C/59°F but it is sunny).

I want to cart away some of the dirt and replace it with potting mix so the plants have the best chance of doing well.

Most of the gardens I designed had rockeries where pebbles were part of the design. The waterfall in my garden is made from soft rock. These were brought all the way from Rajasthan along with marble chips that were used to build Solitaire - 3 truck loads.

@JudyEv No just rocks but also marble chips. Solitaire has external walls and the roof finished with white marble chips. That is how it looked in 1990

What are those wires for.

What looks like wire is a hose with holes in it to water the plants. I'll place it in the soil when I'm ready to plant the plants.

I had crated an area with red/pink small rocks and placed a small fountain in the middle. The weeds have invaded the area. I will remove the rocks, pull out the weeds and place a weed fabric before adding the small rock again.

I'll remember that about putting down a weed mat. That's a very good idea.

@JudyEv - Now I do not forget the weed mat when I want a clean area. Those unwanted herbs grow so fast.

I don't like waste and the stones are quite expensive I think. Well, they must be or I would have bought some myself ages ago. lol

Looks like a lot of work. Hopefully, things would look much better when you have rearranged things in the Front area.

Once that is done there is another small garden to the left of the path. That needs enhancing too.
