I live in Guilderland with much sand. I need thin tall fast growing trees to block an intrusive new building up on a hill behind my home. They have huge solar panels which should be outlawed but I have no choice. I need to plant the trees on the side where my garden is since it is the side with the most sunshine but I don’t want them to take up too much room to interfere with the garden. Suggestions?
As long as the areas is sunny, then arborvitae would make a nice narrow hedge. If the area is shady then hemlock trees although they’ll need to be trimmed regularly (maybe twice a summer) to keep them narrow.
