Hello I am new to this site and would really appreciate some help!

We live in a lovely conservation area and unfortunately a housing
development is going up at the end of our garden over the end of the
house. *The house will be 2 storey with a pitched roof and one if going
to be looking directly into our garden (about 80 metres long and 20
metres wide).

The developers cut down all of the beautiful tall trees which gave us
totally privacy but now we feel completely exposed....

I know very little about trees but I would really appreciate anybody's
advice as to which are the best ones to plant to hopefully shield all
the new house which is going up as we speak and will be finished
sometime this year.

I'm not sure whether I should be buying small or large trees but I am
happy to pay more if it means I get the result I want quicker!!

Thanks so much

Condolences on your situation. The assassins who cut down those good
trees will probably die in their beds.

Judging from the feedback so far, tree-wise, would you consider a fast-
growing hedge that, ISTR, could reach remarkable heights fairly
quickly.
What does the group think?

Also, does the code in your area permit a very high fence? If height
is limited, can you fill in the top with wire and train vines into it?
