Would like to keep the front yard treatment relatively simple. Like this asymmetrical ranch style with flower boxes for color (but maybe wood instead of brick).
Note: we would like to remove the shutters from the windows.

Like the manicured shrubbery. A slightly more contemporary version of the 60s ranch style.

Also like the shrubbery here for the front yard (just not as densely packed).

And these :) The ones on the left are veering pretty hard towards Tim Burton-land (which I'm not mad at), but I feel like we could really do the tamer looking ones on the right :)

Like the wide entry and the wrap-around step (an idea we were thinking of for the front). Mostly for a more welcoming, contemporary element.
Also like the asymmetrical pavers for extending the existing back patio.

Another version of the wide porch/step concept that we were considering for the front entry.
Also like the idea of a partially covered pergola for the back patio.

A mix of a translucent cover, like this, and louvered shade might be nice.

Like the pergola style and wrap around step here as well.

Like how this arbor helps to give the feel of a wider, more open outdoor living space with a relatively low profile.

Like mix of shade and sun, the courtyard feel, and the variety of greenery: hanging, climbing, boxes, beds, and open patches of grass.

Like this pergola style.

Like the way the pavers delineate space here, the built-in seating, wide, shallow steps, and the plantings in general, particularly in the bed on the right side of this photo (so, less tropical :)

Like the mix and balance of this space.

Like the idea of the landscape inviting people to spread out over multiple levels. And the plantings :)

Like the grassy plantings, terraced beds and wide steps. Really, all of this, only less :)

More stairs.

More stairs.

Like the idea of built-in seating and beds behind the retaining wall.

We like the use of shape here and varied textures.

Like a mix of grasses with flowers for color.

Considering breeze blocks for privacy/to hide the garbage bins at the end of the front driveway closest to the house. Also like this mix of materials.
