The pale brown is an area of chip mulch or pea gravel (the foot-friendly smooth kind), for easy access/maintenance of the bench & water feature. The tall blue arrows are bird feeders ... you could interchange the placement of feeders & water feature if you need the latter closer to the house for electrics & water (but you can easily run a heavy duty extension cord through your pea gravel, too).
