I would not use the mimosa. (Albizia)
It grows very quickly to a Very Big Tree.

if you overwater. otherwise they become a low, spreading (relativley
flattopped) tree that provides partial shade

but it is messy enough to bother people when the mess accumulates on paved
surfaces.

i think sunset western garden book has patio and pool-side among the lists
in the front area of the book. see the book at local library.
