Hi.

We recently moved into a new home and the back of the house/lot is sort of a wedge pie shape... the tip being the lake and the edges would be woods with houses on the next streets behind. Luckily with acre lots, they aren't too close, but because numerous large trees fell in a storm last year, there are bare patches & I would love to plant a few screening trees. Most especially on the hill behind the shed where our patio area is. There is one leland cypress that was planted that due to wind, ect is now growing in the shape of a number 7 ... not really great. Ideally, I'd like something that is strong, green and doesn't get more than 6' tall ... the area is only about 15' long where I want the screen. Down side is that it would probably only get partial sun and it would be on a hill side.

HELP.

Or should I not consider a shrub and just go with a lattice screen and climbers?
