Landscaping advice for street appeal, 2004 red brick home

Help! We need some advice for landscaping ideas near the front of our house and entry way.
We have already completed a rock garden edge and put in tropical plants in the raised garden bed near our mail box. We are requiring a garden that allows us to access the chemical termite barrier as we live next to a bit of bushland and termites are active in the area.
We are thinking of two large potted golden canes near the entrance where that current large shrub is (shrub will be removed). This is so that when you walk from the mailbox straight through to the front door it provides a bit of privacy from the public walkway that runs parallel to our property. We were thinking of a heliconia either side of the front large window (master bedroom) and surrounded by rocks at the base and maybe some plants to fill it out to hide the pots and rocks a little? We were thinking of rock mulch for the floor.
We are also putting in a front fence that will have black/dark gray vertical slats and an electric sliding gate for added privacy.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated to lift up our street appeal.
