Slow progress

I've been taking out my lawn, section by section. 10sf here. 50sf there. Usually not much, but slow and steady progress. I've tried to put back native (zone 6. Cincinnati), but not always. .. anyway…

I've been having some drainage issues into my carport. I had some creek stones to let the wife not step-in the mud. I took them last year for landscaping elsewhere. Simply replacing them would be easy. I never do simple. Last night, I finished up the wall I made. I still need to finish grading it back out and plant stuff back. that's later this month.

Here's the pics of start to current state of affairs
