Best Hedge or Bush to hide something?

I need to do the same although I was planing to put up a 6 foot tall shadow box cedar fence on 3 of the 4 sides. I wonder if a some dwarf cultivar of a pyramidal-shaped arborvitae that maxes out at 6-8 feet in height might work. Something that looks like this

Needlepoint Holly is a good choice. Don't dplant Red Tip Phontinia as there is a disease killing them off.

For a 3-to-5-foot hedge, consider dwarf yaupon holly, Chinese mahonia, dwarf sasanqua, dwarf oleander, azaleas, Indian hawthorn, nandina and Rotunda holly.

For hedges 6 to 10 feet tall, consider ligustrum, cleyera, camellia, sasanqua, oleander, dwarf Burford holly, gardenia, pittosporum and Indian azaleas.

For taller hedges and screens, look at Savannah holly, Dahoon holly, banana shrub, sweet olive, Japanese viburnum, sweet viburnum, Japanese yew, ligustrum, cherry laurel, loropetalum, Russian olive or elaeagnus, pineapple guava, Needlepoint holly, Nellie R. Stevens holly, wax myrtle and yaupon holly.

Viburnum is awesome / grows fast and is dense and evergreen and no pollen like ligustrum / easy to deal with
