Hello,


My backyard is partially facing the street and partially facing the
neighbor who has their deck out almost to the property line. ?Because
our lots are small, whenever I go to my backyard I would be in their
face and vice versa, no privacy at all! ?I'm looking for evergreen
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.


How much space do you have for plantings, and what's the sunlight
like... there's not much in the way of evergreens that will grow
rapidly in a narrow space, and none will grow as quickly as you want.
