Here is a link that might be useful: Dwarf and Slow Growing Thuja

Hi Bboy,
Thanks for the link. I must not get out too much as I find that the Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' is about the coolest shrub I have ever seen LOL!
I live in the Midwest so I will have to do some calling around locally and see what I can find for availability.
Thanks again!

That one has been common recently at outlets here. Being a juvenile foliage form it may be a bit delicate, one I planted in an outdoor container lived for some months and then went all brown suddenly.

Because this is foundation planting, it will be the frame for your house, and therefore the shape and form of plant you select is very important. When you say "dwarf" how high do you mean? Do you want an ultimate height of 4 feet or 8 feet? What shape do you want - globe, mounding, conical, columnar? What shape & size is the yew you are trying to balance? And why did you choose Thuja? Would you consider other evergreens if they fit your size and shape criteria? A photo would be very helpful.

alohamillion, if your in eastern Iowa, you may want to take a field trip here to get ideas on all kinds of conifers. Cick on features and then The Heartland Collection of Garden Conifers. Once there, click option 2 for idividual specimens.

Although I love the 'teddy', it will not work for the area I am needing to fill. I envisioned the standard arborvitae, but I do not want it to tower over my house like our neighbors have. I would guess I am hoping for a 12-15' tree at maturity.
I have never added an URL here before so I hope it comes out okay. The photo was taken prior to us buying the house. You will see the area I am refering to including the grey conduit. We have added an addition to the home, so this is no longer the corner of the house, but rather just the beginning of the new two store addition that includes an entrance door, two + stall garage w/ living space above. It follows the same type of roofline and pitches as the original part of the house. If you need more info, just ask.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Thuja 'Emerald Green' will mature at about 15', I believe 'De Groot's Spire' will do the same, but narrower. There are others. And some of the Junipers, Chaemacyperis, and other evergreens have forms/cultivars that can meet your criteria.

If you can tell the Forum the mature height and width you are looking for, that will help also.

If it doesn't HAVE to be an evergreen, there are several weeping trees that would also possibly meet your criteria, among them a redbud or a beech.
