I recently posted a help ad but I am not moving any planted plants or tress

.It's our house father in law left it to my husband and me,he is still living with us and he's at that age older and we dont want to cause stress on him by moving plants he remembers planting. . we tend to get alot of mosquitos in front little deck we have tried those mosquito plants but they don't work .

he likes things where he put them and would love for him to be around many more years .

so I need to add other plants and or move around to create a new look for house front appearance.

I am able to move out or around or add other plants ,

husband is currently. Debating on to add more grass to the area that has dirt in front of deck or add plants .

So would love any ideas or
help in plant layout designs
