Raised garden beds
Q
Posts are not wood - easier✅
A structure that could be the frame for a deciduous vine or creeper - summer shade and winter sun.
Maybe a pathway could incorporate some small bordered garden beds?
Maybe a garden wall (that doubles as some seating) could meet a paved area?
Maybe one decent tree is enough - summer shade, winter sun.
Or … maybe one decent and shady tree then paving and Dichondra?
Edged garden beds then pathways that are easy to sweep and clear.
Dichondra or Lippia for whatever patches are left without garden or paving
Something similar, perhaps smaller, in front yard?
A few feature pots?
A few feature pots, then forget the rest ??
Semi private courtyard for the front yard - summer shade and winter sun

Is something like this possible over our front door - summer shade, winter sun?
Soft trees for summer shade
