How does sun work out alone the length of the fence? Is it all about the same or are some areas shadier?

Do you want year round screening and so need a fair percentage of evergreens, or is more screening during warm weather most important? What kind of depth are you willing to give up for the bed? Often beds with a couple of layers provide better screening that a single line of plants.

Thanks for the reply.

The fence line gets morning to early afternoon full sun during the growing season. Although the area closer to the oak (top of the pic), gets a bit more shade.

Warm weather screening is more important, but would like some evergreens mixed in if possible for more strategic year round screening. Ideally, would like 10-15 max for depth.

The pics were taken from in front of our deck.

You have plenty of room to work with and lots of sun so I'd suggest a mixed shrub border that includes both evergreens and flowering deciduous shrubs for both privacy and summer aesthetics. You can start by going to a local nursery or garden center to see what is on offer that you like, selecting some flowering shrubs that have both a spring interest (lilacs, forsythia, etc) and something that has summer color - panicle hydrangeas or Rose of Sharon, etc. Don't forget about fall leaf color and dwarf conifers for winter.

Babs is a master at this and perhaps she'll share some photos of her magnificent mixed shrub borders!! And she is in a much closer zone and geographic location so better able to make specific plant suggestions.

Rather than write a whole bunch, I am going to give you a couple of links to threads where folks asked similar questions. I showed one of my large shrub borders and talked about how I thought about arranging it as well as many of the plants I used. While mine isn't along a fence line, it has a similar function of providing separation from one area to another. I didn't find a whole lot on the web that addressed what I saw in my mind when I wanted to do this, and local nurseries just suggested I put in a line of arborvitae which would look silly in my rural area, so I've added photos that show it in various stages. By now it's been in place 8 growing seasons and I am starting to look at editing it a bit more than I have so far. Mine is a bit taller and wider than your intentions, and it is in a colder zone and a bit sunnier. But many of the same plants will work for you. Feel free to ask questions.

Several comments including a bunch of photos further down the thread here:

I'm including this link mostly for my third comment about how to arrange repetition so it doesn't look too random:

Repetition of some of the plants in mid-autumn: Rhododendron Olga Mezitt and Amsonia hubrichtii are smaller and so toward the front, and taller deciduous spicebush/Lindera benzoin turning gold in the middle ground. The two evergreen Thuja/arborvitae here are repeated elsewhere in the bed, just not in this photo as are most of the other plants in this view.

Here is a similar view in spring

And this view shows how well it blocks sight lines to the work area behind it after 5 years, even in winter with just the evergreens and whatever remains on the deciduous plants.
