the spirea that we have planted. If you notice on the picture, I already
have a white curvey pattern which I will follow. I can dig them up but
it's too tiring.


Too tiring??
Even if you kill the turfgrass with a herbicide you'll still have to dig out
the dead plant matter. Probably should ammend the entire bed by double
digging the whole area.
Gardening is hard physical work- no way around it.
Pick up a shovel and get to it!

Now when you see a beautifully landscaped yard you might understand all the
intense physical labor that goes into it.
