addressing my backyard..

I think I am ready to begin addressing our backyard – right now it is dirt/scraggly “grass” and very bumpy. Typical rowhouse backyard, 16′x50′ with one very nice old tree in the back corner. Limited sunny areas, mostly dappled shade. I’m thinking a small brick patio off the back door and then a combo garden/kids’ play area. Any ideas/inspiration/people to consult with? We are hoping to do a lot of the work ourselves, but may need professional help with grading issues. I know very little about yardwork – all tips appreciated!
