To add to Mars2012 list, #4 & #10 may be a viburnum or a non-flowering hydrangea. The previous owner obviously likes hydrangeas!

#7 is a globe Norway maple, a tree that I personally find hideous, but to each his own http://plants.connon.ca/11100004/Plant/ ... rway_Maple Even though it won't be a huge as a regular Norway maple, it will produce dense shade and its leaves are allelopathic, meaning that it will inhibit growth of anything nearby.

The biggest problem you're going to have is that all these shrubs want WAY more space than they have. You can leave them a year or two to let them fight it out, and remove the losers, or trim them back every year. These shrubs are all very low maintenance, so that's a plus for you if you're not into gardening.
