Porch, retaining wall, mulching, planting, & walkway

Before on left, after on right. What to look for: the front porch, retaining wall, and plants are new from when I moved in. Some more closeups below...

For the next pic, imagine the before of this with lots of herbs & weeds where the mulch is. My Mom was a rock star and helped out a ton to clear this all out before the mulch went down.
