Hello!
I'm still a bit new to this forum and I'm not sure where to post my question. This past weekend was moving weekend and I am DYING to give this front yard some TLC. I think the left and right sides of the house would look perfect with some succulents/desert plants in the rock beds that are already there (after we weed a bit) but I'm also new to planting succulents outside in rock beds.

1) Would this even be advisable? (we live in northeast Ohio - hot summers and can get rainy but very unpredictable)
2) If my idea can be done - I assume I'd dig up the current rock, lay down cactus soil, plant, then cover with existing rocks?
3) Are there certain types of succulents that would do better than others? (the left and right sides of house get a lot of shade from tree overhang above)

THANK YOU!!!
