Some feedback needed on what to do with this area of garden.
 

Hi guys,

There is a link to a pic of an area of my garden at the end of the post.

I want to make it into a bbq area/sitting area at a low cost. My idea is
to remove all those weeds in that square area. Put down maybe a couple
of layers of newspaper, 1 layer of plastic weed block and cover it all
with a couple of inches of mulch.

The blue line is all the way to a lime tree that I can't remove.
So from that blue line it goes to the green line. At the end of the
green line is another tree (tree x) that has to stay. Between the lime
tree and tree x I was thinking of putting a 2 layer high stone wall.
Also from the lime tree to tree x it is not a straight line. Tree x is
about 2 feet in, so if I put a stone wall or a fence, a right angle will
occur. But looking at Home Depots website, it seems like a big job.
Having to dig down 12 inches for the first layer, etc etc. Plus the
expense of the stone blocks is a consideration.

For a visual effect, maybe I will put a picket fence in place of the
stone wall?

Any suggestions from the group is appreciated.

Thanks,
Emil

Hi Emil,
I was looking for a trellis for my yard to make a visually interesting
partition and I found this cool site for ideas. I think they're really high
priced but I bet I could make one with some effort. Thought you might like
it as an option to your "wall". I can't see your page. it doesn't work as a
link for some reason. got another?

Hi Jane,

Thanks for the link. The link for my picture works for me, maybe it was
down when you tried?
