With all those squares try to add some beds that are rounded. You have shade and Sun so make some big beds in the sunny area with black eyed Susan's and purple cone flowers and they will spread out into the yard. Hostas and other shade plants will also expand and slow down the erosion. Your local nursery people can tell you the best ground covers. We also buy stepping stones 10 at a time to slow the erosion and when its muddy.
I like lobelia, lillies of the valley, violets, and chamomile. Is that stream bed dug into the ground in a U-shape? it might wash away if not, and you've over-filled it if you did. Use some large stone to keep the gravel in there.
I would seriously plant some nice shrubs. I like flowering ones like Rhododendrons, Camelias, azeleas, fushias, butterfly bushes, hydrangeas, peonies. Maybe a couple nice flowering trees like dogwoods, cherry, liliac, and a pretty japanese maple.
