Hi, we have an issue with a neighbour who borders our rear garden, he
has a complete view of our patio and conservatory and I wish to screen
the view. Can anyone recommend potted plants/trees that will provide
year round privacy, approx 8ft tall, reasonably priced and hardy as the
wind blows between the houses. Any help appreciated.

Our neighbour's twee cottage, 6 feet lower than our ground, looks out over
our entire garden. We planted a) a plum tree, b) a mulberry tree, c) lots
of tall grasses. People have a right to light, not a right to sight. I
made a herbaceous bed next to their house and planted Acanthus, tall
grasses, anything really.

If you plant some shrub or other, and it grows up, as long as it's not a
Leylandii I think you're safe. So grow something about 8 feet tall, like a
pampas grass.
