do you have a plot plan that is accurate and in accordance to all your structures you are showing?

I do residential drawings on the side if you're interested.

Basic backyard perimeter planting like you have on your plan are typically something like an Eagleston Holly with Cast Iron lining the fence underneath. If you want something flowering go with some azaleas (George Tabor) or Shi Shi Camellia. I think you might want something flowering up by the patio that could get a higher canopy. Maybe go with a Natchez Crape Myrtle, Vitex, Forest Pansy Redbud, Jap Magnolia or something. They do drop some debris but its a nice accent.

Your layout is ok, but as Zappas said, there are some funky things going on that don't mesh.

Thanks for all of the recommendations.

The whole thing is to scale excluding the plants. Those I just copied and pasted some generic plants to fill it in as a general concept. We’d like a large shade tree in the pie part with something underneath, Holly’s or some other trees along the sides and some bushes with flowers underneath.

I think the best advice is to hire a pro to help with good color and size mixing and having different blooming times, etc. Stuff that I’m just out of my element on. Since we’re putting in a lot, I think they’ll be able to turn my amateur work into something that all flows well together and makes for a professional, complete design. I called some LAs today and am waiting on quotes that seem to be in the $250-700. I thanks everyone!
