Sue,

I am not a landscaper and have trouble with my own backyard ideas, but I've been watching so many garden shows on TV lately and here is an idea that might help you.

I played on my paint pad, so this is not very good and with just trying to figure out your layout in your yard, this is something you might like to consider.

The green lacy looking area, next to your patio, could be an arbor with a trellis and plant some nice vines to give color and privacy to your home. I would add some more trees, like the others have mentioned, and maybe put the tree on the left side, more into the yard to give some dimension to your yard. That way you can have some shade to sit and plant shade loving flowers too.

I hope this helps some.
