What are some good trees for a west facing backyard to help block out the sun? Something thats not too tall and leaves dense enough to block sun, maybe max 20-25 feet tall. Also wheres a good place to get this?

Thanks!

Plant a row of Italian Cypress along your fence/property line. They grow straight up and never have to be trimmed. It's kind of like having a really giant hedge but these are trees.
