You read my mind! (Or saw my yard.)
The management decided to chop down a tree whose roots were buckling a driveway and road surface. This doubled the amount of sun I have in my yard!
For whatever reason, they left that stump several feet high. I put potted-up plants there, or pretty rocks, decorative twisted roots and forked branches.
I'm working on greatly improving the horrid clay and pathetic raised beds around it, and developing a Goddess Garden (one theme of white and pastel flowers, probably another of blue-violet and gold - I'll have to see what works).
I'll learn to grow some plants in big, permanent containers so I can move them into the Goddess Garden for their bloom period, and then away when they fade.
When it looks good enough, I'm going to move a statue of an angel (a gift) onto that stump in the center.
It's especially nice that the angel is carrying a horn-of-plenty that also looks like a basket of flowers.
