Nice start. How many acres of snow fence you planting

HAHA, funny you mention that..... Already looking into which tree's to plant. and I'm thinking 100 feet, on the exterior of the backyard fence (Dogs).

if I could afford it, I would plant a damn Forrest on 6 acres

You can get seedlings really cheap from the Colorado State Forest nursery in Fort Collins.

Get some form of evergreen tree. Any of the Leaf (Deciduous) type, don't make good wind & snow breaks.

Looking at Fir and spruce.

Fit and spruce grow too slow and need too much water. Junipers are better. For a good snow fence you need several rows of plants and different heights b

Good advice if you're building a home on acreage where you plan to stay for a long time!

Here's the links:

What will grow well has a lot to do your local climate, habitat, elevation and water availability. As Newracer said, most fir and spruce like more water and cooler temps so they'll do better in the mountains. Eastern and Western Red Cedar grow fast in arid climate and are better wildlife trees. Also look at Bur Oak, beautiful tree, drought tolerant and fairly quick growing.

We planted ~850 trees and shrubs outside Grand Junction, mostly as bare root stock and seedlings to build a wildlife shelter belt. It's a pretty rich forest now.

Besides the junipers/cedars and bur oak, we like pinyon pine, Arizona cypress, hackberry (slow), buffaloberry, mulberry, mountain mahogany, golden currant, Nanking cherry, chokecherry, three-leaf sumac, and New Mexico privet. All are low maintenance and great for wildlife. Good luck!

I will want to plant a variety but will definitely need a snow fence for sure. we have anywhere from -24 ambient to 90* in summer. The wind will be my biggest challenge since its anywhere from 5mph - 60 sustained gusts to 70+

If I could, I would love a lush Pine tree Forrest. maybe toss in a couple Sequoia and Red Wood hoping that they tower over the pines.

Finally finished Shellacing the rough Romanian AK wood and got it onto the WASR. It's a nice improvement.
