hi
i would be grateful for any advice for planting an already mature hedge.

after a dispute with my neighbour, i am keen to plant a hedge along the side
of my front garden, but i want the privacy as soon as possible, i.e not have
to wait possibly 2 or 3 years for a hedge to grow.

the length of the hedge only needs to be about 2 meters, but i would ideally
like a height of about 1.5 - 2 meters straight away. also as dense as
possible, and evergreen!

would just putting a row of some kind of firs close together work?

this will be alongside a concrete wall about 1m in height if that makes a
difference

i do not have any gardening experience so if you have any ideas please post!

many thanks,
dave



Using mature plants is expensive and you may lose some. Consider your
soil, moisture and sunlight and match these with plants that grow well
in your region (I have no idea where you live).
