shrubs that will grow to 8 feet to act as a hedge so I don't have to
see my neighbor or the street. I would prefer something that will
reach matured height in 3 years because I can't afford buying big
shrubs or building a fence. I'm looking for cheaper alternatives.
Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm in zone 6.

Thank you.

How about a Bamboo?

Tall, straight, fast growing, evergreen and doesn't need much space.

They are also very popular right now and give the place a very modern look.
