In anticipation that your row of Hemlocks eventually succumb to WHA, I'd plant one White Pine sapling between each Hemlock. (Most understory woody trees are sun-crowded out by Hemlocks--including White Pines). After 15 years, you can select-out the weaker evergreen.
White Pines are fast growers, and a next-door neighbor who's planted
hundreds has a huge privacy fence since 2006! Nobody's going to drive on
their property...
You'll remember the former airport on Wolfeboro Neck--check it out.
