I've posted about this before but wanted some comments on my plans. I recently took down 3 diseased pines along my back border and want a part deciduous part evergreen screen.

What I'm thinking is 3 to 5 Arborvitae dead center to screen the neighbors patio. I don't want real tall and am looking at the Techny or Emerald Green. The 10 to 15 foot tall range would be perfect. I also don't want a straight line hedge so am also thinking staggering, say 3 in a line at the back and 2 in front of those. To the left I'm thinking Viburnum and to the right under the other pines, the bare tree you see is a Bald Cypress and there is a smaller one in the corner, Azalea or Hydrangea. As the border matures I will plant some perennials.

I have about 75 feet from the shed you can barely see on the left to the other corner where the Cypress are and the other pines on my east border.
