don't paint it. it will look like a painted mess. It's a stone wall that needs to be repaired, have a mason look at it and repair it. The cost of repair is minuscule to the initial cost of constructing that wall. Give your customers something of quality craftsmanship to look at not a painted rock.

I wouldn't paint over the stone at the top and would look at having the wall repaired before painting it. It looks like you will have
some type of vine growing so that greenery would be nice when it fills
in. I would paint the wall and floor bright colors ( perhaps blend it
with your salon decor colors )
They have beautiful outdoor rugs now that you could lay on the floor of the patio and then you could
look for some nice outdoor wall art. Wrought iron wall art etc. or even a fountain. Make it bright and cheerful.

We have built this south facing house and want to put a patio area outside the French doors (kitchen & dining area) on the west facing side of the house. I'm trying to get ideas to make this area more private without losing the afternoon sunlight. My big problem is that the entrance driveway goes in front of the patio area. Any ideas or advice appreciated

You can go far enough out on your slope so the vertical distance from the ground at your existing terrace and the slope is 3' or less. There are lots of retaining wall systems you can DIY there at the 3' limit and backfill to level a larger area. You might take in dirt when someone excavates for a pool, for instance - contact the pool contractors in your area and offer to take dirt for them as spring comes. you can also borrow the dirt from your own land further out. Once you make a larger flat area, treat the area where it slopes off from it with some thoughtful planters surrounding 6-10 wide / 4' deep "stairs" . Your leveling above will make the transition area a bit more steep . . so use this area for kitchen garden / raised beds that you sit at from the terrace side and walk up to from the bottom. The slope between should be stairs and on the outside edges you can use groundcover or plant more edibles. Then you'll always have herbs near the kitchen. The stairs will be large and wide enough to provide more seating or even be a play stage with audience arrayed below. Consider shade and where you want it when you plant trees. Deciduous trees are wonderful in colder climates as they give shade only in the summer and then provide architecture but no leaves for allowing winter sun in . . . Think of the land as a series of "rooms" with functions. The larger flat area will allow you to provide a dining terrace behind the grill area and expand your seating where you have the french doors. Your dining area might benefit from a pergola / open frame / trellis above that eventually you grow some lovely pole beans up on. . .

Wasted Garden Space into Patio

This particular area of the garden was cleared from overgrown shrubs and trees. However, the space was still not being used and was rather unsightly. It is a suntrap for the morning and afternoon sun. The ideal spot for a little seating area and the potential to be a beautiful space. We decided to construct steps, a small sandstone patio and surround it with some colourful low growing planting. And one year on it is looking great...!

I like it the way that it is. Just think of it as patina, and put out some pots of flowers for color, and maybe some wrought iron or something.
