My wife and I are putting together plans to landscape our backyard this coming Spring and are looking for tree/shrub suggestions. We ideally are looking to improve privacy and have a "northwoods feel". Some of the species we are looking at include:

Paper Birch

River Birch (one already planted at the back of the yard about mid-way from left to right)

Cedar (Red or White)

Maples

Douglas, Balsam, and Frasier Firs

Canadian Hemlock

Dogwoods

Viburnium

Holly

Pines (Jack, Red)

Oaks

Spruce

Winterberry

Lilac

Rose of Sharon

Serviceberry

Redbud

We have a thread on the ladscape design forum that includes many more specifics and includes diagrams and pictures:

Thanks in advance!
