This is Kimberly. I like the idea of a small pond and sitting area. Sugestions for rest of area:
1. In front of existing trees, add a straight or staggered row of evergreen trees. This will give more privacy year around.
2. Consider putting a big kidney shape bed as your main focal point in the center of the backyard.
3. Add some different shaped beds around the kidney shape to accent the main bed.
3. Plant grass or do sod in the rest of the area, or create pathways connecting the beds and outdoor features.
Terri - I would be happy to give you suggestions on plant materials to use in your zone as well as a more detailed design. Just let me know through this website.
