Hello
We want to plant a roughly 45-meter (150-foot) long area with plants that provide privacy screening. We are considering Thuja Smaragd. They should be relatively low-maintenance and offer good privacy.
Do you have any other suggestions?

I’m not very knowledgeable about plants, but I can share some of my experiences: we have Thuja (I’m not sure which variety) on one side of our garden and ivy on the other. I don’t personally associate Thuja with cemeteries, and they grow quite fast and densely. However, the inside branches do turn brown. Proper care and correct pruning are really important. We cut off the brown parts at the bottom, expecting new green growth to appear, but it didn’t. The conclusion is that these plants just get wider, and if you try to prune them narrower, you end up with more brown than green.
On the other side, we have a fence covered with ivy (a nice variety with lots of white and green and large leaves) and clematis growing between it. I find this much nicer, denser, and easier to maintain compared to the Thuja side. I also have the impression that ivy is very resilient. A small plant has now easily spread about 3m (10 feet) wide and 2m (6.5 feet) high.
As for the costs, unfortunately, I don’t have any knowledge about that either.

Hi,
I can’t say much about the plants. For that, I have my wife – a trained landscape gardener. I like to leave that specialist area to her.
However, I want to offer a different point here:
I understand anyone who doesn’t want their neighbor looking directly over their table from 10 meters (33 feet) away, but a privacy screen for you is also a privacy screen for intruders.

We currently have a narrow-growing privet on one side, but it was very expensive Due to recent information, I need to correct myself: we don’t have privet, but rather cherry laurel.
Privet is actually quite affordable. By the way, it only partially loses its leaves in winter.
May I join in here?
We are also looking for a dense, evergreen, and low-maintenance hedge (trimmed three times a year, rectangular shape). The final height should be about 150 cm (60 inches).
Preferably something we can plant ourselves and, if possible, available now in August.
Thank you

Search for "evergreen hedge." However, you will need a large number of plants—usually 4 to 5 per meter (3 to 4.5 per yard). Therefore, bare-root plants are typically planted in autumn or spring, as they are more affordable. Potted plants can be planted throughout the year, including August, but this will likely cost you a small fortune.
