I am in the exact same zone and have a spot JUST like that: fence on one side, reflected sun side is the pool and a paved pool surround!  I have planted Podocarpus gracilior which is fairly easy to prune to stay within bounds and makes a rather nice screen after 7 or so years.  Don?t know if you want something that tall however.

This suggestion somewhat astonishes me as I knew the tree in the wild in Kenya and there it can easily stand 60-80 feet high and appropriately wide. It is closely related also to some of the largest trees in NZ.

 

 It is amazing what pruning will do!!
