Grasslands online nursery sometimes have nice bare root beech .laurel isn’t the best Choice but Portuguese laurel would be much better .also if they only want it to be  1m in height yew might be good idea and unlike some  others it’s easily managed

I have a mostly beach garden hedge and I wish that 20 years ago I hadn't been tempted to mix other stuff into it....Hawthorn, Holly, Swedish Whitebeam, Cotoneaster and a bit of Hornbeam...even the Beach isn't all the same.

 

 It looks fine and would probably be great as a large wild barrier that gets bashed once a year with a tractor but as a neatly trimmed garden hedge it's a pita as it all comes into leaf at different times and grows at different rates, so what I wanted to be low maintenance  definitely isn't, ....lesson learned for me.

Rip out the non-beech and interplant - it’ll look crap for a couple of years but will all come good in the end.
