That awkward patch of grass

Amanda M
by Amanda M
I'm hunting for ideas and suggestions for this patch of grass between my driveway and porch. It gets mostly shade, tends to hold onto water (drainage?), and we usually walk where the stepping block is placed. I thought about a butterfly bush, but I am also concerned with it drawing bees since my son is allergic to the stings. Open to creativity and DIY!

    Glad to be of some help Amanda. We had a similar spot at our last home and when my folks redid their retaining wall beside their drive they gave me their limestone rocks to make a rock garden. What a difference it made in that baron area. Wish I'd have thought to bring them here. I have nothing in our yard from my folks home.

    A rock garden sounds perfect. The great thing about this is that if you can set pots of colorful flowers in it to add color! And a rock garden can have any theme you want!
