hi guys, going to see a client tomorrow who is seriously overlooked by a block of apartments behind his house, the apartment owners took down a large leylandii hedge on their side so he wants me to suggest a hedge to plant on his side.. to be maintained about 25-30ft, levelish ground, usually damp underfoot and shaded by mature trees on one side, any suggestions appreciated.. thanks Ed.

A mix of himalayan birch, manchurian and tibetan cheery, under planted with dog wood, and viburnhams. Expensive yes, but visualy stunning. I planted a hedge with this mix about five years ago, and it now looking amazing particularly in the winter with all the different colour barks.

I would be careful what ever you put in, next door have taken down a 30ft hedge for a reason! if he puts a big hedge back in there might be trouble, rember the high hedges act or in a few years the council could be on your clients back.

 

Slack ma girdles idea sounds good thpough. I like a nice well maintained Yew hedge though or stick in a load of conny's again if he wants sommat quick.
