Any ideas or suggestions on what to plant that would be fast-growing
and drought resistant preferably native to the area.
Thanks in advance.

If Cyress does not catch your fancy (no too clever if you make a mistake clipping it) and if you are prepared to plant a non native, take a look at laurel. It is a fantastic screen against road noise and light pollution from lassing cars - none better, it grows just about anywhere and is practically bombproof once established.
