We want to fix up our yard. For sure, we want to lose the ivy. What to replace with?
Any suggestions on a cost-effective (i.e. cheap) approach to making this semi-presentable? Our first thoughts are to just do a clean up now just to make it look decent, and leave ourselves open to doing something more fancy down the road (terracing, steps, paths, plants, patio, water features, decking, etc).
Of course, we're open to taking it a step further now. It all depends on cost and and if we find something that we decide we will want long-term.
Any ideas and input would be great. Pics of your place would be cool if you have any. Thanks for any help.
