Where are you? (general area). Can you post a picture of the front yard?

If you add where you are to your profile, you won't have folks asking where you are each time you post.

Go to Your Houzz in upper right of every page, click Edit Profile, and on the left side click advanced settings. Well down the advanced settings page is a blank labeled Climate Zone for Garden Forums along with a link to find your zone.

If you add info on your state or the nearest large city you will get even better information since zone only relates to average coldest winter temperatures.

Then return to the top of the page and click Done Editing.

I am in zone 7 Rhode Island this is a view looking outward. Possible tree would go to the right of Maple up slightly closer to the house.

Purple Japanese maples do not retain their color well on lawns that dry up during hot weather. So you really need to solve the problem of the lawn going brown with some kind of improvement in the moisture situation anyway. Also any new tree you plant will want to be kept well watered at fist, even if you choose a type that is drought resistant after establishment.

That was my intent to get another tree to create more shade in that area so the grass would not burn. So I was looking for suggestions on what type of tee that I should get to get 20-25 ft of shade from not a Japanese Maple but another type of tree around the same height

How about a Chinese fringe tree or a Dogwood? There are also some really nice deciduous saucer Magnolia cultivars. Sounds like you want something with a spreading crown that doesn't get too tall.

Oriental Raisin Tree (Hovenia dulcis) or American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)...
