Postage Stamp Re-do

Our yard is so small, I don't think I should call it a yard- so I will call it our Postage Stamp.
After living here a year, and unsuccessfully getting grass to grow in our PS, we consulted a professional- a friend who maintains the greens on a well-known golf course and has a degree from a well-known college in horticulture. He recommended that we remove the few clumps of grass that we could get to grow as that would probably die soon. Due to the 1.5 hrs of sunlight our PS gets per day, all the rain, and no air movement, he highly recommended putting down a weed barrier, mulch or stone it all, and then plant a few plants that need lots of moisture, no sun and lots of protection from the elements.
What we began with...

All grass removed and weed barrier down...
Rocks down- SO much better! Yes, there is dog-poo already down- it was cleaned after this pic. At least that answers the question if Kierke minds!! Flowers will come in the next few weeks....
