Need advice on building a privacy barrier w dwarf fur or spruce

Have you considered Austrees? They are of the species Salix matsudana x alba, a form of Willow tree. They are not for everyone or all locations but I can tell you that these things grow FAST and if you keep them pruned you can train them to grow into a bush, tree, or hedge. I planted them on my property and they grow faster than anything I have including Tulip Poplar and they are fast. They need LOTS of water and do not like drought. They have survived the winters here in TN but not sure how they would do in NY. They are easy to grow new trees from cuttings so you don't have to buy more if you want more later. Here are some links to some pros and cons:

Duc, you have a lot of nice toys!!!! ;o) I almost forgot to look at the fence row. ;o) Hedges come to mind for me to plant along the fence row. I think it would look nice although you would have to periodically trim them.

It is interesting that Funchy brought up bamboo. I have monsterous patches of it on the new farm I just bought. It grows in extremely dense thickets on the ridge line slopes under dense canopy forest where it stays pretty damp and humid. It does not grow out in the open or at least I have not found any patches of it there yet. If it would grow in the open, then it would make a fantastic privacy barrier. Some of this stuff is nearly 15 feet high and maybe higher is some places. I have no idea what species it is. Looks really nice and the wildlife seem to like hiding in it.
