Just thought I'd follow up on this thread since you all had great suggestions. I did in the end part ways with the queen palms.  A neighbor of mine came and took them a few days ago. They'll live and grow down the street from me.

And just this morning I planted this beautiful beccariophoenix alfredii off-center on the left side of the yard.

I thought I'd post an updated photo of the jubaeopsis today. This is just about the 1-year mark for this palm being in the ground. We've had a very mild winter and this palm hasn't batted an eye and even grew actively all winter. Winner all around. 10 out of 10 in my book.

Its new fronds seem acclimated to full sun exposure. The older fronds all had a bit of burn

I'm hopeless in terms of advice for California, except that the state has an amazing native flora, no doubt with some species that would fit into your yard.  

Here in Florida, Syagrus romanzoffiana is lousy choice, nutrient problems and poor wind resistance.  There''s lots and lots of betters.

I should remove a triangle (Dyspsis decaryi) on grounds that it's far too common a palm.  But the thing is happy as all getout and shades a bunch of Chamaedoreas.  

Congrats on the lack of lawn.

Update photo from this morning. I love taking garden photos on overcast mornings. My jubaeopsis keep getting those dry tips in summer, I'm not sure what else to do about it other than give it extra water. The street trees should start providing some much needed shade this year so maybe that will help it.
