This is a starting point for simple planting renovation, that you could tweak any number of ways in order to suit your needs. ... or as a starting place for brainstorming. In case it's not clear due to the panoramic distortion, the lawn area is more or less a semicircle surrounded by a border of small "trees", groundcovers and perennials for seasonal interest. Even though it's symmetrical, I'm not trying to suggest that is required. (Balance is though.)

Wow!!! Such great ideas! Yardvark, thanks so much for the picture. I love that patio, puremichigan60. Thank you both!!

you are welcome. Best of luck in transforming your space, and a reminder to refine work out details, spacing, arrangement, etc. on plan before beginning actual work.

Yardvaark, what trees do you recommend ?
