I've never had an issue with pressure or uneven distribution.
These arborvitaes are ubiquitous. I would say every landscaping store, nursery, big box store, home and garden place sells them. Why? Because they are way beyond easy to grow, easy to keep alive and easy to cultivate. They are ‘industrial’ landscaping plants that serve numerous purposes just as Sup is using them.

The biggest problem with arborvitaes is that they are a staple of the deer diet. In urban areas, or fenced yards, after a few years you will have these tiny little arborvitaes popping up all over. Once established, which is very, very easy in even in poor, sandy almost sterile soil even in a subarctic climate, let alone in supplemented black dirt, lightly fertilized with slow release and with regulated water supply, and anywhere south of Minot, ND, they grow and propagate like guppies.
