I wouldn't plant a line of just one tree or shrub. A blend of things will
look better and be more resistant to devastation by insects or varying
conditions.

While I hate this idea because I'm an Astronomer, I'd put up some 1,000
watt
floodlamps aimed right at them and put a elec.eye on them so that was the
sun
went down, the lights would come up, thus the full glare of light would be
blinding to them.

Hi folks,
I'm in a suburb in southern Ontario. We decided to buy a house that
backs
onto conservation to get a little more privacy than the standard lot
would
offer. Everything was great until our next door neigbour decides to
install
a patio door and 2nd floor deck off the back of their house with a full
view
of our back yard!!! (which wouldn't be so bad if they had a better past
time
than watching us swim).
As the old saying goes, tall fences make for good neighbours... I'm
looking
for a 15' fence! unfortunately the local bylaw will only allow for 6'.
Any good suggestions? It seems to be popular to go white cedar, but I'm
not
totally impressed with the look. I have to cover about a 30' length.
I've done a couple of searches and came up with a few names:
Hungarian lilac
Spartan juniper
English laurel
Red elder
Siberian pea shrub
tall hedge buckthorn
Russian olive
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
