Resist by all means to get the tropical look in landscaping by adding queen palms (cheap/look tropical).
As they mature they require a minimum twice per year cleaning out of seed pods and other residue. Early on one can do it but as they grow (quickly) they become too tall and even dirtier in their out put.
No on Queen palms.
Put in only cold hardy plants.
Wait a year or two to see what came with the house looks like.
