To make matters worse, it's the first thing you see when you enter my yard. I want people to be greeted with beauty when they enter my yard, not ugliness!
The area gets a good amount of shade so the grass stopped growing. It also gets a lot of foot traffic so the ground is very compacted which makes it hard to grow things.
So I turned this into a garden pathway! Check it out and see the transformation. I'm here in the Phoenix, Arizona area, gardening zone 9B.

How hot do city surfaces really get in the Arizona sun? In this video, I use a thermal thermometer to measure and compare surface temperatures of concrete, asphalt, rocks, grass, turf, mulch, and shaded areas across Phoenix. You'll see surprising heat differences between surfaces in full sun, under mulch, and even at night.
Whether you're a gardener, landscape designer, urban planner, or just trying to stay cool in summer, this urban heat island test reveals where the real heat hazards hide.
🌡️ Surfaces Tested:
Concrete sidewalks
Asphalt streets
Rock landscapes
Grass lawns (real & artificial turf)
Mulch (top & underneath)
Shaded areas
Nighttime cooling comparison
📍 Filmed in Phoenix, AZ (Zone 9B)

The ground in this area was very compact and hard, which is why she had such a hard time growing anything. The way to deal with and fix compacted ground is to water correctly and to add lots of soil amendments (life) to the ground. This is what we did and we hope her new hibiscus thrive a long time and give her lots of joy and beauty in her backyard.
