I made some changes to the plan to reflect what is actually happening.
The creek bed became shorter and has a tributary from the front yard. Behind the garage, I planted a bunch of Myrtlewood since I had free saplings and really love the species. Eventually they'll get too big and need to be thinned but they grow slow and are beautiful. Along the creek bed, I planted a bunch of ornamental grasses. I tried several different species and will have to see what I like best since I've never used them before. I moved the evergreen huckleberry along the driveway after I found a volunteer of the same and also to give them more shade. I'm thinking about a planting bed behind the house. Might try some nasturium, strawberry tree, and hebe shrubs. I'm going to bring in 4 cubic yards of 1.5" river rock for the creek bed and for the front curb and ditch. Then I can plunk down rosemary and grasses unless I think of something better.
