I recently did some work on my town focusing on the back yards of homes, as I noticed a friend had done this, and mine looked bare.
I took it one yard at a time, and tried not to overdo any yard. I spaced the items out (for example, homes next to each other would not have the same items as their neighbor).
I used these sporadically, blended with trees:
Swing
See Saw
Tube slide
Lawn chairs
Easter pond
I even used the Olmec head (slid it close to the back of the house, so you can only see the top, as if it were a round hot tub with its cover on)
Bench
Flower garden with a centerpiece
Patio table
When using trees (anywhere), blending is key. Mix it up as much as possible.
Hope this helps get your creativity flowing.
