This photo is taken in March so not too much going on. I have a lot of Hostas here and I just put in about 8 Mother Ferns. Again, it's probably more angular than you're thinking.

The Japanese Maple I just love. It's a seedling and they are all different so I can't tell you what to buy - but I can tell you that under this tree is where everyone sits in the hot days. Yes, the leaves fall into the pool. The giant Walnut was put in before the pool was built and I don't recommend it.

I would also do perhaps some flowering maples. They bloom so reliably and are evergreen here. I'd sure want to do some Brugs but you can't have them next to the pool. Too poisonous.
