Honestly for the stuff in the back, I could elect to just chuck out, but the front flower bed would just be empty after the trees are ripped out. Plus it wouldn't be the worst thing to have stuff come back year after year with basically no upkeep in the front (the stuff I'd be ripping out from the back). Saves me from doing a dozen weeks of a completely full green bin and the stuff I transplant I don't have to question whether it has a chance of survival in our climate.
Why not just do combos of clover and local wildflower mixes instead of grass? Who cares if you mow into it into the future. It'll bounce back within a few days of being hit by a mower.

Ya, clover is an option. We have a big chunk as sheep fescue, which is nice. I've got a big sandstone boulder thoguh, and I was thinking of moving that, and then doing like mini xeriscape patches planting appropriate stuff. Maybe a few of those ornamental tall grass things...whatever they are! I've put very little thought into it, too busy re-parging my foundation.
