dunno if i can suggest much?

down at ground level the neighbours would have a pretty hard time
looking in on you and you them as i see it. with your deck of course
you get to see more of them.

dunno that i would have gone the expense of raised boxes though,
especially that close to the fences, could be a harbour for weeds?
unless cemented first between the boxes and the fence.

not sure what trees grow in your area but one that comes to mind is
the poplar, any tree that grows sort of straight and tall would have
done the job, i feel and without the need for the raised beds. not
sure if bamboo's grow in your area but seek out some of the bunching
ones that don't take over if they do? we have ones here that grow to
4+ meters.
