I was thinking of removing it and planting Leylandii .
Leyandii possibly because its quick growing.
Its the only thing I can think of that will replace the hedge quickly.....
Or does anyone here have any better ideas????
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I moved to a new house last year and had similar privacy hedge needs - I was also considering Leylandii, and was given a lot of friendly advice by speaking to the guys at
Laurel and Leylandii Hedging for Sale ? Evergreen Hedging Plants | Hedgesonline.com - they talked me through the pros and cons of different hedges, and had advice on growing speeds, distance between plants etc and lots of other stuff that was new to me. I'd recommend phoning them (their number is on the website) - think I spoke to 'Bob'. Hope this helps.
