Best advice is to duck and wear asbestos gloves when reading most of the
replies to this question!

Seriously though, Leylandii is a plant that has its place and uses - but
screening a neighbour's garden is not one of them!

I always recommend Yew hedging. You don't mention any sort of budget - Yew
is available at all sorts of sizes from a few inches to 2-3m to give an
instant hedge. If you want prices: Do not go to a landscaper or a Garden
centre, but find a local trade nursery. For cash they will be more than
happy to supply enough hedging plants for a 50 ft hedge as that is a trade
quantity - price will be around 50% of garden centre price. If you need to
hire a local jobbing Gardner for the day to put them in.
