I have a large wooded area that goes down to the bay, and grows up with brush until you can't see the water. I'd like to get it cut back, then put in something to keep it from coming back. There are several large trees which I will keep, also a small creek/pond. I don't want anything I'll have to mow or that's high maintenance. I've been thinking about using pea gravel or something like that, or maybe some really tough ground cover. My grandson wants to have his wedding here next summer, so I've got to get this taken care of now. Any ideas? Sure could use some help!
