• Our neighbours keep insisting we put a hedge along the front of our house (we are the frontage to a private/unadopted road) as they all have delusions of grandeur.

    It's caused weeks of rows between my wife and I as everyone keeps mentioning laurel as it's "so easy and grows really quickly". I hate the stuff and don't want to be trimming it 4 times a year to stop it hitting 15ft so Ive flat out rejected it.

    Previous owners tried Beech which died and rotted away and now people are suggesting fences. Any suggestions on how to shut this down other than violence.

  • Is there a height expectation?

    Some Camellia and other shrubs grow pretty high. Perhaps there's a way to get some height and still have plants you like?

  • Anywhere from "looks like private land" to "stop the double decker buses looking in"

    Edit: those are the 3rd party requirements.

    I just want a nice border in really low quality clay soil
