Ideas for shady front garden....
If you did decide to remove your grass areas @machtucker, Hakonechloa makes good ground cover. I have it planted under an Acer in my lower garden shown below in summer, autumn and winter.

What's your weather like 2026
No snow just rain. A chilly morning and any rain should fizzle out soon and stay dry for the rest of the day. The air will be warming up tomorrow for a few days at least.
