Rotate your trees so the branches don't all face the camera at the same angle. Give some dead grass varriation to your grass texture. Also take notice that grass doesn't grow directly on rock unless its moss, and thats a lot of moss. So the texture should go rock > dirt > grass. I take it you're using Maya? If you are using max I can tell you exactly how to set up the materials to create and paint the blends but with Maya you're on your own... sorry...

Filter generated rock texture:
My technique for shading the bricks was to draw shadows around the edge of each brick and then put a light outer glow effect on the shadow layer. The top layer has the original lines I drew to define the bricks with a dark outer glow effect applied to it.
