As you can't move the house I would say move yourself, before you line up for the shot consider the direction of the light (sun) and also andy 'furniture' in the background.
Sometimes just getting down low or standing tall can really change the backround distractions.

For these shots, I really can't get past the CA. You need to do a little PP on these to reduce that. Also, as for the background, if it is bad, don't shoot. Find an angle where the background works for you.

lighting is so off on the first one, and all of these are out of focus.

if a screw on wide angle/fisheye adapter is being used for these shots i'd advise tossing it.

My next piece of advice would be moving from the drive way to some empty parking lot where there are less distracting objects in the background. Very good area I would think for flatland bmx.

My final piece of advice you can take or not take, your choice. I would suggest backing up and widening your composition a lot and buy yourself a nifty fifty from b&h or adorama, you will not be sorry. Plus, it's such a standard and versatile lens that you can use it for really any thing you need to shoot.
