Good recommendation but will get 20 ft pretty easy

I have a coral bark japanese maple. There are tons of Japanese maples, I would look at them and try one.

Go native if you can, maybe some sort of hawthorn like mayhaw.
Edit: Never mind, I forgot how tall they got...but do try to go native if you can.

I guess it doesn't have to be only 6-7' ft tall. It just needs to be a direct competitor to japanese magnolias and crepe myrtles. I like crepe myrtles but they don't have leaves on them half the time.
Also, is there a flowering tree that will have leaves during the winter? Probably not but just asking.

These will actually hold there leaves through the winter.

You won't have the biggest flower blooms on the street, but the entire area will know you have one when they walk outside.

This is my house. The trees I'm looking for will go in the front garden near the driveway and again on the right side of that same garden. There are crepe Myrtle there.
Would you still recommend these trees?
And can anybody tell what kind of trees are in the front? I think it's an oak. I want to replace those too. Lol

No offense man, but the placement of those three trees in a row, in FRONT of your house is terrible.
Crepe Myrtles would work there, the Japanese Maple would be really pretty. A Cherry type... Even a Grancy Greybeard or Snowball tree.
Just take the middle one out.

Ha I didn't do it. I hate it too.

Looks like a live oak on the front left corner.
I'd leave it and pull up the other two that appear to be pin/water/white or some other variation of oak.
I was going to suggest dogwoods because it's my favorite tree, but they would burn up in that garden.
So now I suggest you let the live oak grow, pull up the other two and plant you some dogwoods under the live oak in 2044.

Haha I think all three are the same.
In the garden, my wife likes the redbud. Would that be a good suggestion? I was thinking taiwanese flowering trees in the front (only two)

I'm going to need a better pic to know what those trees are. Appear to be some type of oaks and definately too close together. Not Live Oaks though because they all dropped leaves.
Red bud isn't a bad choice but they will get 10-15 Ft. I would look at the forest pansy variety over the natives.
Should do fine if you have well draining soil. They will drop their leaves though as welll as the red buds.

I'm probably just going to go to a nursery today or tomorrow and look at what they have available 
I could find the perfect tree and not find it in BR
