ᐅ Size of driveway and planting strip for privacy screening?

There are other options and preferences as well.
Depending on the type of hedge, I would decide where to place the fence.
Thuja is toxic to dogs. Not every dog will go near the plants.

Is a height of 1 m (3 feet) enough for the dog?

Since the road has a sharp turn and large parts of the driveway are private (after all, it’s a single-family house, right?), I would install a larger opaque gate at the front and a combination of a wall and hedge along the property line facing the street, with a fence/hedge along the property boundary. The driveway would then become part of the garden. I don’t see the “narrow section” as problematic—prefer more garden space than paved areas. With this solution, the dog would also remain within the property. The garden area would feel less cramped thanks to a dividing hedge within the space.
Beech hedges remain sufficiently dense even in winter, are easy to maintain, and grow dense fairly quickly.

I probably would have extended the planting strip straight to the front. A driveway width of 3.5m (11.5 ft) is definitely sufficient. The other bend can stay as it is.

The idea behind the "lower bend" was to still have space to park a car there if needed.

No, but if a bike or tricycle is parked there, or friends visit, it just gets too tight.
I would never have positioned the garage that far back.

I see bikes etc. more likely parked right in front of the garage by the entrance. There is enough space here. Garage positioned that far back

Is 1 m (3.3 ft) height enough for the dog?

We were also thinking about Thuja and placing it in front of the fence so the dog doesn’t spend all the time in the garden by the Thuja plants. 1 m (3.3 ft) or maybe 1.2 m (4 ft) should be sufficient. We have a Beagle. More of a digger than a jumper ;-)

Yes, it’s private (single-family home). The idea is good, but unfortunately not feasible. The small triangle at the bottom (plot no. 5409/4) belongs to us along with the neighbor, as his driveway runs down here next to our path to the basement door (next to the red area). Also, I prefer to keep the driveway separated from the garden, so you don’t have to constantly watch the dog when opening the gate, etc.

So then, thuja and fence between the garden and the yard. Although I find Hampshire’s suggestion the most appealing. Leaving the triangle open means you don’t have to open the gate for every small jump.
