Check this out carefully before you do it. Evergreens can drop sap and needles (and pinecones ).

The current tree's location is several feet for the parking area, but due to it's large branches, it is a problem.

I'm thinking of cedar or fir as a replacement. Since the varieties around here tend to not have large branches plus the fact the tree will actually be about 3-5 feet further than the current tree, I think they would work well for my situation.
