I've got a nice long fence in the back that I want screened fast! The right side I was thing I want to be evergreens for year round screening, the center and left areas can be deciduous for summer screening but note there are two oaks over on that side of the yard that may limit light.

This is a view from my deck

This is a sideview along the fence

This is something I had in mind but an open to suggestions!! Also, this was made with a free app and I'm not even sure if this could actually work with current lighting conditions.

Info:

The length of the fence is about 85feet. The area up to the point where the tree is growing through the fence (about halfway - 40feet) gets full sun.

i don't mind big trees that require space as I plan on extending a garden out about 15-20 feet from the fence...with that being said, I need trees with deep roots that won't fight with my plants (hosta!) or lift the fence.

I only have trees in my little design but I'd also love some ideas for shrubs to include as well.

I was thinking of having two Green Giants with a Wichita Blue in front, having an Ivory Silk Lilac (I know they're not rapid growing but I really would love to incorporate one into the design) and having a larger deciduous that could grow without full sun (maybe a River Birch, willow oak, zelkova, yellow wood). Ash is out as we just lost a magnificent tree last year.

I'm in Welland Ontario with a hardiness zone of 6b. We have a lot of clay soil.
