Could pave the rest, have raised bed garden, rip it up and put grass back in.

Hard to decide, as once we go one way there is always expense that has to be disregarded when we want to do something else.

What are your feelings toward this "circle"?

My mother is a keen gardener in NZ and has a round garden which is full of succulents and cacti with huge bolders, rocks, posished stones, sand and driftwood. It is amazing the beautiful colours and exotic flowers that are possible. They are as hardy as and if they can be grown where frosts number 30 plus a year and still flower this may be a suggestion. They don't have to be unfriendly prickly plants as there is a huge range to choose from and they shouldn't be too fussy that the soil was compacted and has sand on it. If you want to soften the look you could plant lavender or daylilies around the edges.
