If that was my garden, I'd source an impressive urn and fill it with either a canna or a small upright conifer underplanted with colourful tumbling annuals like lobelias and bells. Would make quite a feature of the central location, I like a grand gesture in a garden!
A birdbath? Low maintenance, attracts birds so great fun watching them. Some of the modern sculptural ones look quite pleasing. More in keeping with your formal layout perhaps.
You have a nice lawn but that slab would drive me crazy, it would go the first day I would be in the house Is there a soil under it or does it hide something (drainage, manhole cover etc.)? I don't like it as a planting space, I would do it as grass and if you want a space for more plants (I would want that), there are better parts of your garden for that.
Wouldn't have thought they're hiding anything.
Dirty Harry, does your comment mean you haven't checked? If so, lift it up and have a look before you do anything else.
