Is there a type of tree I can get that looks like a large Bonsai tree?

I want to plant a bunch of trees in my back yard (I have a big back yard). And the shape of the tree is important. I’m going for a Bonsai tree look, but obviously want something larger. Preferably, I want an evergreen tree that will get no larger than about 8 feet tall, with an 8 feet spread, and that has a “flattened” horizontal shape. Any ideas?

The tree used in a lot of bonsai that you see sold is a Juniper. You can also use japanese maple
