If you're going to put bark/mulch down it might be better to put a weed preventer membrane down, you can cut it to plant through it, I don't think it'd too expensive but is worth it as it saves weeding. I have tubs on mine with all my various shrubs roses etc in and I have some with bulbs and winter flowering plants it makes life so much easier and less bending is involved
First, you need to determine why there is no grass. Too much shade? Too much traffic? Pests? The wrong type of grass? Something wrong with your soil? Next, know that grass WILL NOT grow in shady areas, period. If you want living things growing in your back yard, you need to figure out the reason and correct it.

Without knowing your specific information, that's the best advice I can offer.
