For one thing you have to be mindful of your septic tank's field lines. Trees that grow fast on top also grow equally fast in the soil and can invade your tank and lines. Some trees are particularly agressive like the poplar, sweet gum, sycamore and silver maple but some are not like the Japanese maples and flowering redbuds.

Generally fast growing trees don't make the best specimens. These are the cheapest ones in the nursery since they are easy to propagate and grow.

Can your county agent and ask for an appointment with a master gardener to come your and assess your site and make recomendations. I don't think they charge for this and it can save you a lot of heartburn later.And BTW there is an outstanding Japanese Maple grower in the area. Really nice folks that will take you around and show you the grafting areas and the nursery.

Millstone Japanese Maple Nursery
11265 Alabama 50
Dadeville, AL 36853
(256) 896-0105

You can also get some great advice from Rick & Debbie Pope:

Haven Place nursery:
370 Haven Place
Kellyton, AL 35089-4338
(256) 839-1201

Finally stay away from the big box stores like HD and Lowes. They just don't keep up a good watering discipline and that can damage the tree & roots. You won't know it until its too late.
