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

I guess my reply is never going to show up, so here goes again:

What about thickly planting a fast-growing HEDGE rather than opting
for trees (on which you have received some iffy replies).

Also: Could you build a wall as high as the code will allow, and
continue it higher with chicken wire or other wire, through which you
would train thick vines?

Just some thoughts.
