Oh man that's great! Thanks so much for the photoshop that really gives me some ideas. The colors are wonderful. I like that curved path, the one I drew for some reason just didn't have the flow but this one makes much more sense. Not only that, the house is at the end of a dead end street. To the left, there is nothing. I'll take more shots tomorrow when it's sunny out. When the mail man comes to deliver mail, he usually cuts through the grass anyway haha. For some reason the downspouts always show up much redder in the pictures than in person. I brought a brick sample to sherwin-williams and had them match the brick. I still need to throw another coat on so I'll go back and have them tone down the color some so it doesn't stick out as much. The photoshop definitely makes me want to open at the very least the front of the porch adding wider steps. The sides I may or may not open. Also even if I do need to get rid of the tree, I think the landscape would still work. Unfortunately most of this is a few months away as it's no fun working outside when it's 20 degrees out but I can't wait. Now, on to decide to use pavers or concrete, and what color...

Is that sliced post on the brick side removable? It doesn't look right and should be taken down, if possible. I'd leave the brick as is, paint the siding a light sage green, and the shutters/front door black or a darker green.

Snap a photo on a sunny day then use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app to play with the colors. I would select a tone slightly darker than your mortar for the garage door and a color slightly darker than your darkest brick for the front door. I would then on the garage door install magnetic faux hinges and windows; this will add detail to the door, like the below house. I know they can be found on Amazon, not sure where else. Before: After:

There are 4 photos you show- but I only gave 3 paints. So just wondering what the last option is?
