I'd suggest take your time to decide on landscaping, and yes you will need to get ARC pre-approval no matter what you do.

Scope out different neighborhoods, talk to people, possibly attend Enrichment classes on landscaping.

We have a courtyard villa, and being gardening-inclined myself, I went with mulch for back&side yard with bottlebrush bushes and other, with stones around the drainage drain depression in my backyard corner. In front, used some ground-cover plants with bushes and flowering plants with mulch. We do have a small section of lawn in front, which we have a light weight, small (12"x12") electric mower (cutest thing-makes mowing fun).

There is a Gardening Inspirations Gardening Club (free club, no pre-registration needed) at Rohan Rec Center at 1pm on Friday September 1st. There you can talk with knowledgable people if you are inclined (bring pictures of your space).
