    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.

      Thanks, but I really need help with the outside of the patio. the grass hill and tree stumps. Should I use rocks and planters.

    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.

    Enjoy the process, Sarah. I'm sure you'll create something beautiful.

      Thanks you I am going to use all the ideas and create something very beautiful, starting with cleaning the hill, adding a boarder for the property line, then add red or black mulch for filler with some medium size rocks and attach a planter on each stump, then, transplant some of the Lilac from the front island near the back fench. Will send update when complete.

    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.
