You can use postaction along with dash pattern for this.
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[->,postaction={-,draw=green,dash pattern=on 0pt off 5cm on 2cm off 2cm}] (0,0) -- (25:8cm) ;
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Is it possible to use some kind of solid pattern instead of dash?

@Nip What precisely do you mean? It is a solid line between 5cm and 7cm.

Well. I tried white instead of green and I see some dots. It is almost unnoticeable tho. I just wanted to understand the code and I found this: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45275/…

If you think there is dash pattern between 5cm and 7cm then you didn't get the "cleverness" of this method.
