Could you be a little more specific please? First of all, where are you (one of my pet peeves)?
How many square feet do you have?
Do you have grass now? If so, what kind? Grass is a ground cover. Are you saying you want something different from grass as a ground cover?
Are you happy with the drainage (away from the buildings) on your property?
What would you like to have in the future regarding type of grass and how much % of grass to beds?
How much maintenance do you want to do?
Also, when you talk about putting in landscaping elements that can take full sun AND at the same time putting in trees, you must understand that what you put in now in the full sun will have to be replaced after the trees go in. So are the trees going in now or are you waiting for those, or what?
