Thanks for the input. For anyone interested this is what's going on. My house was built in a pine forest(timber land) and the lagoons are man made so there wasn't anything growing except for pines. Maples, willow, sweet gums are naturally filling in anywhere they can so I'm not interested in planting those. I really like the look of cypress trees especially when they get knees on them, think that's what their called. As far as weeping willows a lot of my neigbors planted them and they grow like weeds around here, I mean 6-7 ft a year easy. So I'm looking for something big that will look good and something no one else has.

Here's a picture of my bank of the lagoon.
