Here is example of pro landscape, managed with iron shots yearly. as soon as shots went away here is ornamental maple that should not be here in ph8 alkaline with free limy soil and alkaline lake water.
Area next to the lawn got rock and grass grown into it removed, green area is grass and weeds and being scraped and removed. it will be rock and french drain going into our ditch system to the orchard. Getting it done right, not like pro's relying on herbicides for the 'look nice' thing. This bed is being re-done like my new bed, lots of work, but...

The plants already in that bed and soil restoration second year: bee balm

Summer is not without damages
Someone sprayed weeds.
this is secondary herbicide damage
2-4D most likely. can be pesticides damage too,
We had company come solicit pesticide and herbicide spraying, I send them far far away, but someone I guess did not.
Ozone damage
