Back Yard - Long Term Plans

Here's the long-term plans for our backyard.  The very back yard would be for a garden, but we want to keep it more formal and organized.  This will be a multi-year project starting first with installing the pavers and garden beds.  Picket fence and a garden shed will be later than sooner.

The area between the house and garage has an all too small patio that one day I want to expand with a new patio and pergola.  I would like a six-post pergola and want to use salvaged tapered columns which finding could be difficult.
