This is outside the back door, leading from the undercover area. It's roughly 2 metres by 5 metres, the trees need to stay, and I am not keen on plant pots. Just looking for ideas.
One of my sayings as a Gardener is “The more you have, the more you’ll have to maintain.”
I see 2 problems here: 1) Those ‘decorative’ rocks, and 2) Whatever that wood is supposed to be.
1) The lazy way to deal with it is to cover it with compost. The bed stays the same, and you don’t break your back removing them. The other way is to hire a guy like me to fill up a wheel barrow a few dozen times and remove them physically. I do not recommend keeping them. In my experience as a professional Gardener, decorative rocks have never been an asset, only a problem.
2) Find out if there was a reason for putting that wood in there, or if it was just a way to visually portray a raised flower bed of some sort. If a reason exists, address it, otherwise get yourself a crowbar and pull the wood out.

Good luck! 🙂
