I'm not only not keen on having to keep up a yard like I did before, but there will be considerable shade from the tree coverage that will likely not be beneficial for turf. What are some alternative approaches that are clean?

a lot of times, your local agg university will have various plans or options for different landscaping styles that will work best in your climate. CSU does that for Colorado.
in general, xeriscape designs that include a lot of native plants will be minimal effort.
looks like UGA may have some info. i didnt poke around the link to know for sure.
