Clematis armandii is a Bad Idea. It will tend to accumulate at the
top and eventually form a mass so heavy that it will have to be
removed. It does not respond well to hard pruning, either.

In warm locations, true bay (Laurus nobilis) is good, but it does
need hand pruning annually. It makes a nicer and more useful hedge
than laurel.

Common laurel is a crazy idea, as it is very hard to keep down to
2m in locations it likes - Portugal laurel would be better.
