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

Thanks - yup, this is stucco. Dug a bit and don’t see any weep screed - house was built in the 50s here in CA so not sure if that was code at the time

Ours was 1959 and had a weep screed (bay area), but not all homes do. There should be a clear enough delineation between the stucco and the foundation, so that's a good place to start your slope away from the house (a couple of inches below the stucco at least.
