Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our driveway and I would like to know what you think about the size and the planting strip, which is intended to serve as a privacy screen from the street (at the bottom right in the plan) towards the terrace.
The red marking can be ignored for now (access to the basement entrance).
Would you place the planting strip directly next to the driveway and the fence (about 1m (3 ft) double-rod fence due to a dog) behind it, or the fence outside on the paving with the planting strip inside the garden? What plants would be suitable here?
Thanks and best regards,
Hannes

I wouldn’t have artificially narrowed the driveway on a whim. It is quite large anyway.
What are your requirements for the hedge/privacy screen? But 3.5 m (11.5 feet) should be enough for the driveway, right? It doesn’t have to allow two cars to pass side by side.
The hedge/privacy screen should provide screening from the street.
I would probably have extended the planting strip straight to the front. A driveway width of 3.5m (11.5 feet) is more than enough. The other bend can stay as it is.
I would have built the fence like in the picture. At the bend, you could install a gate to provide direct access to the garden.

No, but when a bike or tricycle is parked, or friends park, it simply gets tight.
I would never have placed the garage that far back.
Should the hedge be evergreen, and should it or is it allowed to bloom? Edible, bird-friendly, alternative options, able to withstand heat and drought?

It’s the forum’s secret favorite plant and will soon be included in the unofficial forum emblem. 😉
