Default planting fir trees in the back garden as a screen

Thoughts / help.
I'd like to plant some evergreen trees at the bottom of my garden as
there are some 3 storey flats beyond that I'd like to screen off, just
to get a bit more privacy as I can see into them from the house. I
don't want to get all un-neighbourly, but would like to grow them to a
height of about 15 ft and manage them, not let them go out of control.
Can anyone point me in the direction of getting a better understanding
of what's involved, background reading etc, i.e. how big can you buy
young trees to plant, are there specialist gardening centres that
would do this for me (may require some drilling out of concrete) any
legal issues I need ot be aware of in case the neighbours get
unfriendly? There wont be a huge shadow thrown over their house or
anything as it would be just at the back of their garden.
Thanks
