tall trees/bushes for privacy without damaging roots

I'm probably asking for the impossible, but if you don't ask...
at the bottom of our garden is a shed/summerhouse and directly behind it is a bank which leads onto a blank patch of land leading to a railway line which was previously overgrown but has recently been purchased and cleared and people are using it as an allotment/recreational area which is great but now we have no privacy as they look right down onto our garden and also the sound from the trains has increased due to no sound barrier.
The roof of our shed is in line with the bank so about 2.5 metres in height and I'd like to plant some evergreen trees or bushes directly behind the shed which would grow tall and provide a sound barrier and privacy. other half says no as the roots will damage the shed, so are there any evergreen varieties that would grow tall enough but not damage the foundations of the shed?
