Pete; You have received some great advice already. I went through the same thing a couple of years back when landscapeing our home. A few thoughts I have. If you are in the typical suburbian neighborhood I would suggest you stay away from the Pines. They sometimes diminish the value of your home as they simply do not look professionaly installed like most of the spruces. The same goes for a lot of the Cedars, theese are mostly the less expensive varities but there are some that can work great for a hedge. This of course will depend on your location and the your neighborhood. A good key is to look at what others in your area have. Here the Pines stand out like a sore thumb. Also You might consider offsetting or staggering them instead of a straight line. I personally like the Black hills Spruce as suggested. I also use Norways, Blue and white spruce but all of theese will get larger than what you want.
