Should I plant a privacy screen?
Hey everyone. I'm posting to get some feedback or opinions on my lawn/yard adventure. I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania (zone 8). I just had a baby, and prior to having him, my dogs ruled the yard. Now, i want to have a nice yard so my son can enjoy when he starts running around. Eventually I want to put an above-ground pool, new shed, and maybe a seating/fire pit area. Before all of that I was contemplating planting a privacy screen all around (Emerald green arborvitae). I prompted chat gpt with showing me how my yard would look with a screen all around. I included the photos. I wanted a tight privacy screen, so I'd probably be planting them 24-30 inches apart. I calculated about 35-40 trees for the areas I wanted. I just want to know if I should go ahead with my idea, pros and cons of planting that many trees, future issues I might run into (neighbors complaining, future sale of the house etc).
Edit: additional info, I would be planting them myself with the help of family. I get direct sunlight all day. Also this photo was taken a few months ago. I'm already in the process of fixing the grass, it's doing well so far 5 weeks in to overseeding and fixing patches.
