Red Maples survivable?
Is this still survivable or would I have to cut it down? Leaves looks fine but the bark looks in pretty bad shape

We are trying to get the front door colored. Original thinking is to paint it the same color as the shutter (closest Sherwin Williams color is Cascades). However it's not an HOA approved color and would have to go through an architecture review process which I ideally want to avoid. Dark green aka Hunt Club https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/green-paint-colors/sw6468-hunt-club is.
Do you think blue greenish shutter will pair well with dark green door?
I have used the Navimow X3 series before and loved it except that it's leaving a huge gap at the edge that I will have to manually trim and it will walk around any weed thats a tad longer than the grass.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but based on my research, the Navimow H210 with LIDAR would fare better with edging and also significant tree cover + fully fenced backyard.
However my concern is that there are significant slopes around the house since its a walkout basement (see photos below, note that this is actually a future house that I'm closing on soon so I'm not able to take actual photos, just using Google Maps street view). Will the H210 be able to handle it or do I need to look for an AWD option? The total mow area is about 0.2 acres.
Trying to decide between two houses:
First one is a 1987 house, 4 wall brick, builder unknown but with the amount of trim doesn't look like the builder is trying to cheapen out
Second one is a 2000 house, front brick but vinyl siding, well known higher rated builder
My question is more around insulation. I know brick is better but would a house built in 2000 be built with better insulation / energy efficiency given technology advances?
Is there anything else significant in building quality that would differ between 1987 vs 2000?
Thanks
