The conifer (blue-green) isn't doing too well but the star jasmine looks as though it just wants a bit of liquid fertiliser for extra nitrogen. It should then flourish and fill the boxes and you could then keep it clipped in a formal shape. It's pretty forgiving and you could prune it back if you don't like it sprawling, and give it a feed after. You could try cliveas, dark strap leaved plants that look rather like agapanthus, except they have fantastic orange flowers about now, and tolerate dry shade. Their dark green leaves look good all year round.

Julie Herbert - thank you sooo much!!! I have seen these trees and wanted to know the names of them :) ...and now i know..I was googling fireworks trees hahaha. Thanks again!! I'm sooo happy now~

You could try Wet & Forget on the driveway. You can buy it ready to use and attach it to a hose or buy a bottle that you dilute to use in a sprayer. I have used it and it works - slower than water blasting but it won’t damage driveway if it has some damage? I can’t quite tell from photo if that’s grass clippings/mulch or broken concrete on driveway? If you use it be careful not to spray garden bed. I live in FNQ and we planted seaside daisy - doesn’t need watering but it also won’t die from our wet season. It’s a ground over and spreads out beautifully in a courtyard area that’s get a lot of sun. Just needs a trim from time to time. I see you have Rio (purple green ground cover) which you could separate and plant down the path but it does like water. Maybe for the fence you could try attaching lattice to it and plant another passion fruit vine to help cover the whole fence. It does look like you need to get rid of some woody parts of the passion fruit. It’s a tough plant and will enjoy a bit of pruning. We had one that I thought had died last year and it has returned with no help from me. Be careful with the heliconias and gingers ... they can get out of control if you don’t stay on top of them. Anything tall will cover your fence but it will also cover the passionfruit vine which obviously loves the spot it’s in. Good luck!

So glad you removed yukkas, I would add a weeping birch, could be a bit too hot for a maple, as you mentioned snakes keeping it open by using beautiful river stones and select planting, large liriope is apparently unattractive to rabbits, you could keep the base as a pond or add the stones could look really beautiful
