By the sound of that advice it might be easier to just move house.

I once had to move house 5 times in one year. If you think moving
house is easier than a bit of extra effort to spruce up a garden, then
quite frankly, you're clueless.

I do wish people would not resort to name-calling if they don't agree with
what someone has said. This is a nice group and I hope it will remain so.
Some of us have strong opinions - I sometimes have - but Baz & I managed to
have a lively argument not long ago about the possibility of sexing day old
chicks by eye. He thinks he is right and I think I am. We managed it
without calling each other names and agreed to differ and remain friends.
If we had resorted to calling each other stupid, clueless, or similar that
would not have been the case.

Besides, if you look closely, just about the entire paved areas are
either in need of repair anyway, or they were just laid down on bare
earth.

By shifting the house-shed path to the right, the lawn to the left
will be bigger.

I've just noticed that the rear path is actually 2 rows deep, (except
where the bricks are) and so, it looks like there would be enough
slabs for current right hand side grassed area to be paved over
entirely.

So there would be a bigger lawn and a more functional patio area.

Oh, and the arch would provide the flowering height the OP seems to
want, without having to get a "tree".
