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.

Colorado Blue Spruce is one of my favorites. When it gets going it can grow
a foot per year and the multi color branches are great. It's symmetrical.

Cryptomeria Japonica is another fast grower. It has very soft branches and
will grow about 50' and 30' across. We use one to block the view of our
house from the street. It gets pine cones every year but isn't messy.
