Hi All , I have just moved in to my new home which has a 225 ft long by 21ft
wide garden.At the house end there is a 87 ft long conifer hedge( nicely
clipped) on the left side & a 87 ft long fence on the right, leaving 138 ft
long of open garden between neighbours, which the neighbours kids like to
play football & cross over my garden.Can anyone suggest what they would use
for the boundary.Fencing ? close board or picket? or plant hedging?

Let me offer my usual contrarian advice and suggest that you
completely reconsider your plans. Maybe, just maybe, having the
kids playing across the three gardens is a price worth paying for
the sense of spaciousness you get in the absence of boundary
hedges/fences.

Indeed, since you "just moved in", I urge you to try to live with
the situation for a season and see if it's really as bad as you
think it is.
