Foliage suggestions?

The amazing pool designer for T&D, Vera, designed our pool with a raised edge toward the street and said she thought it wise to be fully screened to the ground to allow air to flow and circulate as it is SO hot here. T&D dug up our back foundation plantings and temporarily planted them (rather covered their roots with dirt in the corner of our lot while they were doing the pool) and when finished planted them around the pool and they quickly grew, especially things like the butterfly plants, and well almost everything. We dropped in several Hibiscus bushes and they too took off like wild fire. I think the neighbors can see us when we are seated by the pool, but not in it so much. I know it must be tempting to build half walls, but I don't recommend it. It is HOT enough.
