The biggest trees are the Columnar English Oaks in terms of bulk. Including the root ball they are probably 13-15' tall. 5" diameter trunk.
The maples are about three inch in diameter but very in height.
I have three Autumn Fantasy that don't have very large heads on them yet. Same goes with the Pacific Sunset. The Armstong maple is pretty tall but not huge.

Make goddamn sure the poop has been composted or like Iowanian has said you will have dead trees.
Sand needs to be in the top half only. You need to get water TO the roots. If you put it at the bottom it will take it away.
If you're worried about water infiltration, I'd definitely overdig the hole and mix soil and compost.
