If hes got enough $$$ maybe giant fake plastic trees???????

All trees shed parts, to some people that is considered mess. I call it nature.
Evergreens tend to drop a bit of mess continuously.
Deciduous tend to hold on to most leaves better till autumn when they dump it all.

For most people, evergreens when over a hardscape are the biggest annoyance so unless you get ones small enough and plant them far enough away the problem will come back.

Could he cope with a blanket of leaves in autumn??

If so there are some decid species that can be quiet effective as an avenue lining his driveway.

The photinias arent a bad idea, most leaf litter falls within the dripline of the tree, down through the interior of the canopy. And dont get real big.

Lilly Pillys would be a big mistake. Maybe Waterhousia floribuda would suit ok though???
