landscaping my yard

The front yard is too hard to deal with on a regular basis, I just want something easy to maintain. I have a rock path across part of it, I'm thinking wood chips or mulch for the rest, although I don't know about any of that. I'm thinking the mulch, because it is the least expensive in my area. I estimate it will probably cost around $100 to cover what I need to in my yard. I would put different pots and maybe small half barrels in different places, and have plants in those instead of in the ground. All the trees and the bushes I like will stay. I can't afford a landscaper to do it, so I have to figure this out on my own. I hope it will be fun and not too frustrating.

It will look lovely when you are done. We had our front flower bed landscaped; and they charged way too much. Have a good weekend.

Place an anti weed fabric under the mulch, it will remain cleaner for a longer time. I am sure it will look great.

@gcwrites I placed mulch in an area and after a while weeds grew everywhere and it was even hard to remove them. I placed an anti weed fabric and covered again and it was fine.

Before you get started; see what your neighbors are doing. Some of your neighbors might can help you figure it out.
