Landscaping

Landscaping seems like it should be one of the last things we need to do, but seeing as there really wont be MUCH to do and we should be closing on our house towards the end of planting season, gardening is something I really enjoy, and I already have to go in front of the historical board for a fence.....
How have yall landscaped yalls front yard?
We are surrounded by large water oaks (why water oaks!?) so its shaded with filtered sun.
The district says we are to preserve old trees and try to use as much native wildlife as possible.
Meh.
Our native plants are pretty boring, plus no one else is, but alas, I still must run it through approval..
Im looking for inspiration on landscaping around older homes. I know zones will cause different plants, but still looking for general ideas.
Whats there now is mostly weeds and little scraggly bushes.
I like color, a lot. Blooming shrubs, flowers, trees...
I really want some hydrangeas for summer maybe some azaleas for spring....
Get crazy.
Im also wondering if Im going to have to get my statuary approved.
Its a large lion and 2 large gargoyles. ....nothing huge, maybe about 3ish feet tall each..
