Shaded yard, once renovated (8)
I believe the answer is:
crayoned
'shaded' is the definition.
(coloured in with crayons)
'yard once renovated' is the wordplay.
'renovated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'yard'+'once'='yardonce'
'yardonce' with letters rearranged gives 'CRAYONED'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
