Yes an Oak hedge works fine.

the dead autumn leafs stay on the branches all winter forming a nice screen, just as they do with a beech hedge. 

Give it an ‘A’ shaped profile and it will look stunning! (No gappy bottom)

I guess I’ll just have to give it a go then. Thanks.

I’m guessing that Beech just makes more sense over an Oak hedge. Beech trees will always hold on their dead leaves in the lower parts of the canopy which is why they don’t fall off on hedgerows also. 

But as Mark says, Oak also holds on to dead leaves. I’m surprised not to have ever seen one: Oak’s got to make for an interesting, wildlife friendly hedge
