Default Spruce Trees

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

I'd like to plant 4 to 6 10 to 14 foot spruce trees on my sdie lawn for
screening.

The side lawn gets plenty of sun.

Will trees of that height take as transplants?

What kinds of spruce trees would be appropriate?

Any URL's would be helpful.

Thanking all in advance.

Check with your local arborists or greenhouses. I'd probably use
Picea glauca (Blue Spruce) as it is grows well in full sunlight in
relatively heavily watered (urban) landscapes. But I'm from Colorado,
and that is indigenous here.
