we were also very happy with Meadows Farms. They have done two major projects for us-- the first was a screening plant of Leland Cypress, plus a lot of other stuff. There landscape designers come out to your house and really know what they are talking about.

I have 26 of them. Got them at HD/Lowes. Better to spend your money on having someone dig a nice deep hole, and be sure to have soaker hoses for the first two years. They suffer during the first 2 summers. Deer won't eat them. They do get big and dark.

Thank you for all the suggestions. We are in oakton so we do have a lot deer. Would hate to spend all this money to have them gobbled up. Please keep suggestions coming!

Thuja occidentalis Emerald Green Aborvitae.
Pretty sure I got the spelling right. This is a native,fast growing tree that is now being used in place of Leland cypress.
Costco has them!!
