 Tree Line

Gentlemen, its been awhile since I have been on the site or have had time to be on the site for that matter. I do remember it being a wealth of knowledge and very heplful. I purchased 32 acers in Va and have built a house and barn. I have 7 open acers in the back that I would like to plant a tree line on one side of to seperate it from the nieghbors. Its about 400 to 500 ft. I have been looking online to find some evergreens that grow fast and are dense enough. All are expensive and I don't want to waste time and money on someting that will not grow well, or be thick enough. Any ideas would be appreciated...
Thanks

Guys, Thanks for the input.I would like to have a "thick" tree line to obscure, if not totally block the view of the homes on the other side of the line. The homes are about a hundred yards away, across a field, but the view ruins the illusion that I am in the country. Growth in my part of Va is out of control, and developers are putting up homes all over.
I will focus on the Arba Vita I guess. I have seen some online, but want something that grows fast and thick.

Chief, that was my plan. Buy enough land to keep people from climbing all over me. I am pretty happy with the property, but would like to get that one barrier established. I live near Fredericksburg, Thornburg to be exact, in Spotsylvania county. Spotsy has replaced Fairfax and Louden as the fastest growing county in Va. The land I purchased 3 years ago has tripled in value.

Guys, once I get the trees planted I would like to fence off that 7 acres. I have been to the TSC website a few times pricing it out. I looks like it would cost me a little over $5k for the heavy mesh on wood posts every 20' with steel in between. I wanted something that would hold my dogs in. The question is what type of fence? What type of poles? Or would it be best to hire someone to do it. I am sure I can use the buddy system to get it done, but I have learned through building the house and the barn that its sometimes much better to pay the experts. Any suggestions?
