A few more details please......are you totally open or is there a fence/wall there already.? What height is it ? In other words, do you just need visual screening at eye level or do you need dense growth right down to ground level ? |

In that case I would suggest trees rather than hedging, and you need to consider the aspect ...would you be losing precious sunlight by growing trees there? Or, indeed, would you be ruining a neighbour's garden by growing a bank of trees ? The smaller birches, that don't grow excessively tall may well be suitable......maybe rowans too. |

I think trees might be the way to go alright. There wouldn't be any problem with neighbours or light but i would like something that prunes well and keeps foliage for as long as possible,thanks again |
