Front yard landscape design advice/ideas

I need to remove a tree in the middle of my lawn. Due to rooting, and a small slope, the lawn surrounding the tree is dead.
I‘ve been struggling to come up with ideas on what to do. We are located on a corner lot and I would love to add a nice curb appeal. I would like a low maintenance, but pretty yard. A water feature and lights would be an bonus. I just don’t have the vision......any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Once the tree is out, you could reseed the area for grass, or make part of it into a bordered garden like you already have in other areas and tie it into the others by incorporating a few of the plants you already have in the others and then adding other plants to fill in. You could start the garden up on the more level top area and build it up as it goes down the hill to bring it level so that your mulch or rock won't wash out in heavy rains. I would use some kind of brick to edge the tier you make to help prevent the tier from sliding down, I think that would go nicely with your yard. There are all different kinds you could use, I think that would look better than ties. Once you have that done, you could seed the grass around it where it is sparse. Where the trunk is, if it isn't ground down, you could put some pots of flowers on it, or a bird bath or a fountain of some kind.
You can remove the tree and put in new lawn or a small flower bed there.
