Flower Garden Planting & Maintenance

Bre21 asked:


i live in Nevada. I have no clue whatsoever on how to take care of a lawn let alone plant flowers but i know i want to learn being this as our first house with a backyard.

Pretty decent size i’d estimate around 25×15. The grass is totally dead (if any at all) at the moment but the owners are planning on resodding it for us.

So any tips or websites on how to care for it and what types of flowers to choose for Nevada’s climate.?? Really want something low-maintenence.

I’m using the black mesh liner to prevent weeds and other things from growing in my new flower garden? I want to know how deep should I dig to get my garden and other grass even?

I tilled a corner part of my lawn to put ina new flower bed, and I found grubs. Are they going to be bad for my plants too or just grass? I am new at this if you can’t tell. Thanks for your help.

I have a strip of lawn in the front of my house that I want to turn into a little flower garden. How do I go about it, because all that is there now is grass? Do I just dig up all the grass chunks along with the dirt? Is there anything to do to stop the grass from growing back? Any help would be appreciated.
