Thuja Green Giant is a fairly fast growing evergreen hybrid that makes
a good screen. But a lot depends on your specific location and growing
zone.

We have just had a load of Llandii taken down that have grown tall,
which blocked out the house overlooking our garden for privacy and also
now let the light into our garden

We are now looking for something similar (not so thick as Llandii) that
would create privacy but also block the windows that now seem to be
peering into our garden and back of the house!

Would tree's like Ash be ok? do they grow tall for privacy?

Thanks for any advice

Where are you?

Ash is too slow growing, are large deciduous trees, and don't do well
growning close together... planting bare root ash you wouldn't live
long enough to see any summer privacy even if you have the acreage to
plant several rows.

One of the best screening trees is Canadian Hemlock.
