Where are you located and what dimensions do you ultimately want? A pic or two of the area would help.

Most arbs - Thuja occidentalis cultivars - grow relatively slowly and tend to be more columnar than conical (if not the dwarf mounding or globular forms). The hybrid Green Giant arbs can put on as much as 3' per year and have a distinctly conical form.....but get big. 25+ feet is not uncommon.

We are in Oklahoma and these trees would be planted by the ditch at the begining of our driveway.
