    One day.. and when I do, I'll likely come out flying at folks in the "organisation" we contract to... you know who they are and how bloody minded they can be, probably better than anyone else here ;)

    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.
