That is a common spreading evergreen ground cover called Liriope muscari. It has small purple flowers in August.

Then I would definitely consider some form of gravel, even resin bound gravel - you can get a variety of different colours which can brighten up the front of a house, still provide soak away drainage and is very low maintenance

Hi I know not many have fake grass but it's becoming a really good option. Aesthetically it looks like grass but you don't have to worry about muddy patches, shady areas or cutting it. It does of course require some maintenance and needs to be laid on a good base. I actually wouldn't be so quick to level the garden out, having a step up makes the eye go upwards towards the sky. See this [Article on steps[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/10-excellent-ways-to-incorporate-steps-into-your-garden-stsetivw-vs~77446744) which was posted recently on Houzz. The area in front of the windows could be paved, gravelled or lay decking squares across it. The boundary walls are lovely and could easily have some climbers on them, using tensioned wires, helping to highlight this feature yet provide more green without making deep planting beds. The tree at the back is possibly a bay tree and might be worth keeping as it gives something of height and structure as long as it's in good condition. Mature trees can be costly so worth keeping it possible. Hope that helps!

Good afternoon everyone! We are blown away by the amazing response we have had from this community, thank you everyone for your feedback. We are especially grateful to Jonathan for his valuable feedback.. the idea is genius and makes so much sense! Thank you so much Jonathan for taking out the time to help us! I have never seen my husband so impressed by an idea so much!! I have attached a couple more photos showing view of the garage from the front of the house along with the entrance gate itself into the property. I have also attached a copy of our floor plan. We would really appreciate your thoughts on what we could to with the garage and front exterior in terms of: Garage walls - What do you think about the brick work? Worth keeping, or should we clad? Garage roof - We currently have an unsightly metal sheet. We don’t want to fully rebuild but we’ve seen light weight roofing for garages which look like tiling. Any suggestions or thoughts on this? Front exterior - We’re looking to improve kerb appeal of the house from the front, any ideas welcome (cladding, paint, stone work?) Windows - these are the original single pane windows which unfortunately come with poor insulation. Any thoughts on what to do for those? Further to the front patio suggestion, is it worth installing an entrance which leads straight into the kitchen through the current ‘Study’? See floor plan. (We are planning to extend the current kitchen by a further 2.5m towards the rear garden). Any ideas, suggestions and comments will be really appreciated, thank you for your help!

Looks like an Agave, but I can’t be certain! If it is they love hot sun so amazing that it’s doing so well. I have a grass called Miscanthus sinensis Zebrina (or something like that) and I’ve got it growing in a pot. Its in shade most of the day and gets a bit of sun late afternoon, It’s green with a yellow horizontal stripe. It’s about 4’ tall and has grassy tufts in late summer. It goes a pale straw colour in winter rather like ripe wheat which I leave on until spring when I cut it back almost to the ground, then up it pops again. Other plants that cope with shade are ferns and Elephants ears. A larger shade lover is Fatsia japonica, but it’s a biggie. RHS website has lots of advice on shade loving plants. Heres my Miscanthus
