New homeowner, just sorta winging it...
Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?
Wood right next to the house is a big no no. Termites are an issue you want to avoid as much as possible.
Route the downspout away from the house, it looks like it’s aimed at your foundation and downgrade so water will want to come back towards the house.
Termites aren’t an issue everywhere though.
The downspout should be discharged atleast 3 if bit 5 feet from the house though.
In Colorado they are. And that appears to be their location.
A slab will float almost as well as a bathtub.
