Hi there! I'm searching for anyone with suggestions or ideas for my front yard.

I've been working harder on it this year. Learned about different varieties of sedum and revamped my raised rock garden. The garden was already in place when I moved in and i'm not sure if I should remove it or what. It IS rotting, but I kinda like the rustic look here.

My main concern is the walkway. It used to be green carpet and I laid patio stones down instead. Now my bush thing on the left side (don't know the name) is crowding out the walkway. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the fence there or not and just let it grow over. But I want to do something now.

I was thinking a curved design of perennials along the walkway. Also trying to decide if I should have the walkway on an angle instead of straight across from the driveway. We don't use it anyway because it's too close to the big shrub. I also like the look of a larger mouth at the beginning of the walk and tapering. Not sure what type of stone to use, but something inexpensive.

I also like the look of flagstone or flat rocks with ground cover growing between, but don't know if that's ok for the front?

So my questions are
Remove the raised rock garden and use plants elsewhere?

Remove fence or keep it?

How to revamp a nice walkway and design

Here are the pics of the front yard as is.
