Columnar Juniper or Sea Green Juniper

On one side of our property, we wanted to delineate the end of our property line but not actually put a "wall" of hedge. The neighbors have just a gravel parking strip that's either empty or has one HUGE camper.

In our previous property, we placed larger columnar junipers. With the weight of some of the snowstorms, they would bend over. We weren't sure it this was indicative of the plant or that the root ball wasn't large enough to sustain it standing tall. How do your columnar junipers stand up to snow etc?

To avoid that flopping over, we installed seagreen junipers. There seems to be a great variance in the books as to how truly large they will get. We thought we'd shear the width (my DH loves to shape bushes) and my DH agreed we could have them grow as tall as could. How large are your seagreen junipers that you leave unsheared in Colorado?
