  • I recommend against pruning at this stage. I also recommend against rocks. Instead, just do a big perennial bed, or even just make your whole lawn perennials. This is more or less realistic depending on the size, of course. The two main issues with rocks are that they accumulate heat which is then hard on plants and uncomfortable for us, and that they are big and heavy and next to impossible to get rid of if you ever decide you don’t like them.

    A native ground cover is another good option. Depending on your area that could mean a native grass mix, native sedges, or something like frogfruit. In most cases your first step will be to solarize the area to kill the existing grass and weed seeds.
