Yaupon holly might be your best bet? Slow grower, but not super picky about soil or drainage.

I want to find some fast growing evergreen shrubs for privacy in front of a 5.5 ft tall stone fence that runs for 100 feet. Ideally, they would eventually be between 6-7 feet tall. I am in zone 7. What would work best?
Sounds like you don’t need fast growing trees as you can buy trees this size. Generally Leyland cypress gross a few feet per year, but you may want to look at arborvitae which grow slower and prob fit your need. More on reddit.com

July 30, 2022 -

I'd like it to grow it about 4 feet from the house and have something that will keep leaves over the winter, look nice, and be able to grow with a few feet of added soil, but ultimately it will be growing down into clay-ish substrate underneath. Full sun. Will water, but drought tolerance is good here in Texas. I've spent so much time googling and looking at garden centers and getting more confused. TIA.
