For instant privacy, pick out larger trees and stagger your trees by planting 2 rows. For something like Thuja Green Giant or Leyland Cypress plan for about 6 to 8 feet between trees on the diagonal. This will leave you with about 6 to 10 feet of space between each tree within the rows and the rows will be approximately 4 to 6 feet apart.
Small (6 to 10 feet)
Medium (10 to 20 feet)
Large (Over 20 feet)
