What to do down the side of my house?

Post by jacob.lundeen » March 9th, 2016, 2:59 pm

So I have a stretch of yard down the side of my house that ends at the truck gate to my back yard. The area doesn't get enough sunlight for bermudagrass to grow (see attached pictures). Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to up the curb appeal of my house? Thank you!

When were the pics taken and how does the Bermuda look in the summer?

Could the area support zoysia or St Aug grass? 5+ hours of light?

A walkway of pavers, concrete, brick or whatever back to the gate, and some shade garden beds along the sides?
