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.

You'd be safer with aromatics like lavender, rosemary and sage (salvia)@BezzaDougal which should all be fine in your location.
