Default Long hedge with minimum maintenance

Someone we know if having to install a hedge due to neighbouring
developments some 50 metres long and they want it to be eventually six
feet tall.
Getting on in years they need it to be essentially minimum maintenance.
They have been told Laurel doesn't look good if cut down with hedge
cutters as a lot of leaves don't go brown after being cut in half.
They have also be told leylandi type conifers don't grow around dead
patches so that could be a problem?
Grateful for any suggestions please.


Why not a 6ft or two metre high fence? Minimum maintenance if
installed with concrete posts and soil boards, takes up
very little room width wise.
