Default how to keep Japanese maple from growing taller?

I have a Japanese maple with red leaves. It is about 3 feet tall. However,
it seems to be inching taller slightly each year. If it grows much taller,
it won't look good in its location. Is there a way to keep it from from
growing taller?



Rather than prune the poor thing into oblivion, it'd be best to have to have
the right one planted in the first place. The people who planted our
Japanese maple clearly thought it'd be a dwarf variety, based on where they
put it. Now it's taller than the house.
