I moved home last year and inherited a house with one side (50ft) lined with

Obviously because of the growing seasons this hedge is "See through" because
its not evergreen. Unfortunately this allows me to see into next door for a
third of the year. Plus its not that attractive during this time!
I was thinking of removing it and planting Leylandii .
Leyandii possibly because its quick growing.

The trouble is, quick growing = *lots* of maintenance.

Its the only thing I can think of that will replace the hedge quickly.....
Or does anyone here have any better ideas????

A fence. Much quicker than leylandii. And you can put attachment points
on it so that you can grow climbers up it. These could be evergreen
climbers if you wanted.
