It is the 8 foot tall bush/tree you see in the far left of this pic. I want to replace it with something that will provide some shade over that end of the pond but not grow any higher than the current tree/bush (I would take something shorter as well). I also have a bunch of shade loving plants behind it which I need to protect. It could be a bush or something. I was thinking Japanese Maple but that would be too much of a cliche to have that by the Koi pond.
While I am at it I could use some suggestions for something to help with the run off I am getting down that stone path. We are going to put in a stone wall at the bottom of the deck where the path starts but I need something running up the path and to the swing because when it rains that becomes a river. Bret and I discussed Ajuga and that is what I am going with until someone can suggest something better.

been thinking about this for a while. maybe a yew, or a variegated pittosporum (which can get big over time) and then maybe an oak leaf hydrangea for a little seasonal action.
also thought a little about euonymus there are a ton of varieties of those that get big and can take the shade i think.
