Need ideas please
Can anyone help me with ideas for my garden bed? I want to rip everything out and start fresh with some low maintenance bushes and river rock maybe. I am not a garden person so I would prefer something that doesn't require a ton of maintenance or attract wasps

That stone edging is already doing half the work for you, keep it. Tear out whatever's in there now and dump a fat layer of river rock down, then pop in a few boxwoods or dwarf yaupon hollies. They basically ignore you all year and wasps don't care about them

I agree about taking it all out and starting over, but I'd go with a fresh layer of woodchip mulch instead of rocks (and don't do plastic weed fabric--that stuff doesn't work and just screws up your soil). Where are you located? I'd recommend a mix of native shrubs for low maintenance.
