One year in the waiting because of the pandemic, plan check has been approved by Building and Safety, but the city of LA Bureau of Sanitation and Bureau of Engineering has not cleared the very simple rainwater plan which is standard with a flower bed.

My live-in maintenance guy (finally found a good one) has been excellent & took it upon himself to plant all sorts of flowers, get free mulch etc that he grabbed from a nursery they were tearing down.

@Ivy Flowers I have done both and by far the path of least resistance is to hire someone and the professional will always do a better job. 

I've been liking the light browns/tans with a greenish/avocado like color trim, perhaps some castle blocks rounding the front with flowers behind them..

Was looking for plants and flowers, but didn't see anything I really wanted; however, I did pick up two lamps for dirt cheap!

Instead of using mulch which you have to refresh every year, I use decorative rock in my flower beds.

@Kevin Wood,nothing sweet, it just fit my number: less than 90k after repair with rent in the 1200+ in an ok area (i might be wrong on this as my plants and flowers were stolen!)

Create a little raised mound and landscape it nicely with bark and flowers.
