Pavers? Ideas?

Hey all. Any advice on a landscaping ideas? Zone 8b

There’s a current garden bed (East facing window) Yet what medium for a long rectangular backyard? I’m looking at getting a pair hardy Banana for the corner and lots of pollinators (lantana perhaps), a row of medium plants like canna hugging the long fence line and short friends at the front of those along the lawn. Unsure if I’ll use pavers to “raise them” like the current bed?
Or try something else.
