We planted a few cedars a year ago last fall that haven't been growing fast
at all (i know, I know ... patience - but I swear, they've only gained
about 10 inches and even that is *very* spindly). I was considering
putting a row of Leylands in front of them this year, alternating spacing
to make kind of a "mixed" wide row of trees and provide better blocking
thinking they would grow faster.

If Leylands are not good (I've seen the bent ones recently) - any
recommendations on what might be a good alternative for a fast-growing
privacy screening type of evergreen?
