Default Has anybody planted a fairly long hedgerow?

I used english laurel, it grows real fast and it's pretty dense. Gets tall
real fast if you don't plant the dwarf version.

I guess the problem with oleander is the poisonous flowers. It's is one of
the most toxic plants that exists. Check out the toxicity on this web page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleander. But if you don't like your
neighbors...that is another story.

Zone 12 in California, want to plant a fairly long hedgrow along the
back property line to obscure view and some noise from the property
behind me. The length is 660', was thinking of oleander, pampas grass
or maybe a combo of both. Drought tolerent would be good but I have
irrigation so it's not that necessary. Any body do anything similiar
that can comment or make suggestions?
Thanks.

It's not so much the neighbors as all the roosters that have showed up
with the new owner. Well maybe it is the neighbors...............:-)
