Default Landscaping Question - Spruce Trees

Greetings all,
I live in Zone 5 (Catskill Region of New York State).

I would like to plant a few 10 to 14 foot spruce trees on my side lawn to
screen some unpleasant sightings from across the street.

The side lawn gets plenty of sun.

Please advise what kind of spruce trees would be appropriate and - more
importantly - if they would transplant into soil if they were that large of
a tree.

URL's would be helpful too.

Thanking you in advance.

Best source is going to be to go to a few local nurseries and actually
see what they have and recommend. How much are you expecting to
pay? Trees that size can certainly be transplanted, but they are
fairly expensive and it's quite a job. And be sure to consider the
final size of the tree. Spruce can be 60 -100 ft at maturity,
depending on the variety.
