Landscaping Help – Am I Thinking This Through?

Hey y'all,

Building a house an am currently planning out what the beginning of our landscaping will look like.

On the very northern corner of the lot, there is a single existing tree (a large oak). It is the only tree on the lot currently. However, along the developer fence, we have a total of ~370 feet of 6ft stone fence that we'd like to line with trees/shrubs/etc.

The goal is to provide privacy, add color, and increase the appeal of the backyard.

We were thinking of doing something like this:

-Every 30-40 feet from the corner along the stone fence, a large shade tree, which might be one of the following:   

-Live Oak   

-Monterrey Oak   

-Shumard Red Oak   

-Mexican Sycamore   

-Autumn Blaze Red Maple   

-Or similar

-Interspersed between the large trees would be different types of trees or shrubs that would:   

-Provide privacy over the 6ft developer fence (preferably up to at least 10ft. Higher is OK).  

-Provide biodiversity and color   

-These trees would likely be something like:   

-Crepe/wax Myrtles   

-Carolina Cherry Laurels   

-Yaupon Holly

We would also like a few large/ornamental trees around the home in various areas. All things considered, I estimate we would need at least 12 large shade trees, and at least 35-40 smaller trees/shrubs.

In the picture above (not to scale), the green dots represent the larger shade trees, and the red dots represent the privacy/other shrubs/trees. I would plant the large trees in a fairly straight line every 30-40ft, but the rest of the trees would be offset by a few feet to give the area a more natural feel.

Am I thinking about this the right way? Are these the right trees for what we want to do? How many of the privacy trees/shrubs should I place between the bigger trees, and how far apart from each other should they be? How far away from the stone fence should they be?

I tried to plan ahead, and had the builder run an irrigation zone 5ft away from the stone fence on each side of the yard, then cap it where they meet at the top corner. I was planning on having an irrigation guy come through after the trees were planted and putting in bubblers or drip irrigation along the entire length of the fence so that all of the trees would get watered regularly at a bare minimum (on top of the watering I would do when they're freshly planted).

Since this is a huge amount of trees and a huge undertaking and investment, I want to make sure I get this right.

Any help would be super appreciated 🙂
