Question
I'd like to plant 4 trees against a fence in my yard, and then build a deck around them. The purpose for the trees is to create visual interest and some privacy. I'm considering Blue Point Junipers. Do you have any other recommendations? Thanks.

Answer
The Blue Point Juniper would be good also the Italian cypress is a good choice. Here is a web link to both of these trees so you can compare them. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/ItalianCypress.htm

The juniper is a little wider in spread than the Italian cypress and the cypress is a little taller in height. Either will be ok.
