[Russian Vine, can get a bit out of control if not cut back yearly. Pyracantha, orange or bright red berries in the winter. Berberis, beautiful tiny clumps of orange flowers in the spring. Deep green leaves. An evergreen honeysuckle. Winter and summer jasmine. Beautiful heavenly scents. Put a fence up on your side of the boundary and plant the above. They take a while to get established but you will be amply rewarded with a professional display which will give you hours of enjoyment, cascade over the top to calm and sooth your annoying neighbours. Try to avoid the Leyllandi it can quickly become an expensive mistake. Robs the garden of light and robs the soil of nutrients and water and can cause your garden to become waterlogged in the winter making the ground stagnant killing off the grass too. It is a native of a hot climate and only recently introduced to this country by the Victorians.]

I know exactly how you feel, living next door to a single mum and all the
dross that she drags home every weekend. You can hide it all behind a hedge,
but unfortunately all the filthy language used at the other side of the
hedge still comes through. Try Leyllandi. (Think iv'e spelt it right)

Hi,
If anyone can help me I would be really grateful.
I don't get on with my neighbours and they are really driving me mad,
what I need is a fast growing tall (10 foot plus) hedge to block out
the view of the awful people.
Any suggestions would be great as I have no idea.Definatly an
evergreen, I don't mind if it has flowers or not. Just the speed of
growth is most important.
I need to erect something on the boundry before I explode!
Thanks very much.
