Backyard Decorating Ideas?

Matt wants to do our backyard in a playa type theme. With plalapa inspired stuff and what not. We are finding all sorts of tikit type stuff but nothing that goes towards what we want. Does anyone have ideas about what to look for or where to look for things that will give us the feel of Playa in our backyard?

I have a grass cover for my umbrella that makes it look like a palapa roof and a couple palm style trees.
