What do you mean by "cut appeal"?
Maybe a couple rocking chairs, a small table with flowers or lemonade between the chairs. Large same color planters with flowers. Some window boxes hanging over the edge, with flowers and vine draping. Hanging plants look pretty too. A nice porch swing, or couch on the other end of porch.
It would help to see the outside. Can't go wrong with large planters and rocks. Maybe a small tree on your grass hill with flowers around it. Tree stumps can become a planter, fairy house, moss with animal in it, carve a chair if it's a taller stump.
I would build a block wall to border all sides of the deck, pretty much following the tree stump line. Fill with good soul and plant flowering shrubs (azalea, hydrangea, spirea, dwarf lilac.
Thanks, I can picture that! Love it!
Enjoy the process, Sarah. I'm sure you'll create something beautiful.
Go for it! I'm sure it's going to look great!
I would use rocks or bricks to outline the area, then plant full sun flowering shrubs(Lilacs, Rose of Sharon, etc.) up closer to the deck, and then full sun perennials(peegee hydrangeas, daylily, peony, etc.) up to the border. Then fill in with decorative bark. The bushier plants will help hide the stumps, but you could also put pretty, colorful pots with flowering annuals or coleus, etc. on the stumps.
