We ripped out the old stuff in the fall--put in a paver patio and now its time to start new. We want low maintenance and low height. We have some lighting as well that we need to work around. Also we have 3 kids (5 1/2, 3 and 1 1/2) and want them involved in a small vegetable garden if we can find the right spot. Front of the house faces East--on a corner so the side facing south gets sun all day.
