Privacy Hedge Advice
Our neighbours decided to cut down the privacy Hedge that sat along their fence (we're not sure why). Their house is on elevated land. As a result we're now very overlooked in the rear garden and on the ground floor of the house (floor to ceiling windows).
The green line shows where the hedge previously reached (believe it was laurel). I believe to achieve near full privacy it's going to need to reach approx. 9 feet (at least).
Unfortunately whatever we do it's going to take a number of years to get to that point.
Any advice on an evergreen hedge plant that's a quick climber?
From reading similar posts it seems a lot of people advise against laurel or leylandii (which appear to be the fastest growing).
