I also have a landscape from hell, but it is partly my own doing. Planted things that people gave me when they were thinning things out...and I should have known that things that are free are not free from nightmares. Invasive is more like it. So I have given up trying to plant anything new and I decorate with doodads instead of flowers that will just be swallowed up by my nightmares.

But I am sure that you will get things fixed in your landscape. There is always work when you buy a new place. Hopefully, you can move a lot of those fancy plants to more appropriate places and end up with a lovely yard.
