If you really want trees, have you thought about fruit trees?
Apples, Plums, Pears, etc they would do a similar job, not grow too big
(depends on the root stock used) and would provide flowers in spring and
fruit in autumn.

Our local Paulownia is a good 35 feet high and at least 30 across - not one for small gardens!
Another advantage of fruit trees is that you could grow them as cordons, acting as part of your fence.
