Texas Gardening: Need suggestions, 1 by Sheila_FW

I agree that the dwarf fringe flower shrubs need to be moved to the back, also you might add a couple more for a solid base. They will get about four foot after two or three years. I have them and also a dwarf nandia 'Fire Power', that is evergreen and has green leaves in summer to red in winter. They require no trimming and will not set seed like the invasive type. At only two foot tall and maintaining a ball shape, they make a great step down from the Lorepetlums. This picture was in early spring, you can see daffodills to the left. Also they only received 4 hours of sun late in the day.

I also would widen and shape your pavers as you mentioned, but I would consider using a smaller edging around the beds and tree. Those used now are taking attention away from your plants with which you have made a great start toward beautifing your yard.

Or if you really enjoy plants, incorporate the whole front yard to a mulched area with grouped plantings, stones, and pathways. (smile) No mowing then!
