Question Newbie needs fast growing shrub/hedge with no flowers for boundary wall.

Hello, I'm Eloise, new to the group, hi to everyone.

The old fence that was attached to my five foot boundary wall has finally fallen down. It gave us total privacy from our neighbours but cannot be replaced with a new fence due to council restrictions on height.

So, we need a fast growing evergreen that has no flowers. It needs to grow to be a dense hedge and only needs to be 5 1/2 - 6ft tall at the very most.

My husband and I are more than happy to buy plants that are already four feet (120-150cms) tall.

I do not want to plant Leylandii, we have always got on very well with our neighbours and want no disagreements. Life is too short to bicker.

We live in Arshire but sand and sea/salt air are not a problem: we have the most beautuful soil.

The shrubs/hedge would get sunlight from 8am all day long till 6ish in summer and be in a sheltered area.

May I stress again, no flowering/berry shrubs.

Thank you to everyone who might answer for your time and experience. I hope I have given enough information.

Kind Regards, Eloise
