not sure if these give a good impression or not the order is a bit muddled. Theres a couple taken through our two back windows to give an impression of the view and how the existing trees are working. we dont have any second storey windows so we dont need anything too high and nor do i want to block all of neighbours light by putting in all evergreens. the fence is a mess the boundary is ours but the neightbours replaced it 20 years ago and they havent wanted us to replace it hence the laurel idea (this forms a lot of their boundaries in their garden anyway)
the massive shrub i mentioned earlier gets in the way somewhat for you to see the boundary properly but the fence is probably 60/70ft long. the plantable bit about 50ft. i was thinking a tree inbetween the sky rocket and pine. then another to replace that big shrub and my red robin end at the end next to that.
Hi tetley it looks lovely and definitely more interesting than a hedge. I already have a choisya and purple leafed smoke bush elsewhere in the garden but there's no reason not to have another smoke bush as I love them (I put in golden spirit a last year and it's flourishing but I liked grace at the time so that might be a possibility). I will look at wygela, rosa rugosa, deutzia, tulip tree etc. What do you think about witch hazel? I love jelena but wondering if I can offer it the light it needs. Might look at Berberis too.
