Reply to comment by danauns in How to fix negative grading in plant bed in between house & front yard? by bayside_tigers

Hmm got it, thanks for highlighting the risk there. I don’t see any exposed foundation - perhaps the answer is dirt removal and not adding dirt

Try digging down until you find foundation. Depending on age of your house and the quality of prior owners* the beds may have filled up over time with decomposed mulch and need to be emptied out anyway.

*as a rule, are schmucks who couldn't DIY themselves a hole in the ground... as you will be too, to a future owner 😉

Mine didn't even take wall plates off when painting. And also tended to paint over the actual outlets. I just.... can't.
