planting near Leylandii

hello and happy christmas to all

i am new here and an amateur just starting a new garden in the back of flats where i have just moved to

in the early spring i want to start growing some plants and flowers in the back garden of where i have just moved

there is a bank of leylandii which i am told were planted by the house behind the block of flats in 1975. they are as tall as the 3 storey buildings now!, but they are on the other side of the fence. i intend to be here for a while, so want to plant flowering border outside my window - azaleas, rhododendrons, peonies etc

how far away/forward form the fence line where those triffids are growing should i start to dig my beds?  there is a 40 foot wide area which right now is purely grassed since the flats were built in the late 70s

thank you in advance for your sage advice
