Crossword Genius

Shaded yard, once renovated (8)

Ross

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.
