Hello,

I am in the process of redoing my home landscaping, and  I am looking to plant some  low-maintanance evergreen trees as a privacy screen in my backyard. I am hoping for some tree recommendations and planting advice based on your expertise.( I am including images of my back yard for reference).

1. My fence is 6' tall, and is on a two foot incline. My neigbors house is on a hill and can look down into my back yard and into my house. I feel that it will take at least trees that are 30 ft in height to accomplish the task of providing me some privacy and shade. 

2. The planting area is approximately 65' long, and 30' from the fence to my back deck at the narrowest point, and well over 50' at the widest juncture. 

I want to plant the trees without harming the fence or encroaching on my neighbors property, so I would like trees that are as tall as possible within these limitiations. Based on your tree suggestion, if you would also provide me some advice on how far apart to plant the trees and how far away from the fence they need to be, I would be very appreciative. I am not concerned as much about growth rate, but I definitley would love a tree that does not shed alot of needles and other debris. I thank you for your time and I look forward to your guidance.

* Please let me know if you are unable to open the  images I attached and I will resend them. I was having difficulty converting them to the appropriate format and I am not positive they will work.  

Thank you,

Justin
