Hello everyone, our single-family house is now finished, and from the very large and long kitchen window, we look directly onto the very ugly house and the neglected garden of our neighbor.
There is 3m (10 feet) of space, about 2m (6.5 feet) of which will be paved. I am at a loss as to what would be suitable, and also visually appealing, without taking up too much space. Hedges seem not tall enough, or do they just take a long time to grow?
Thank you very much!

I find it beautiful, and I would like to have it at home someday. I do see the cemetery look, though.We chose European beech because we don’t want a cemetery-style planting. On one side, there is cherry laurel. Cemetery planting “relies” on thuja and conifers...

The hedge was planted about 8 weeks ago with a spacing of 60cm (24 inches). The plants were between 100 and 150cm (39 and 59 inches) tall and cost around 30 euros each in 20-liter (5-gallon) containers. However, on the breeder’s advice, we planted them in TKS2 special soil and needed an entire pallet, which cost about 500 euros directly from the manufacturer. So, for roughly 30 meters (98 feet) of hedge, we paid around 2,000 euros. Certainly not cheap, but it grows quickly dense and tall, no cemetery look, evergreen in winter, and something a little different...In my opinion, you did everything right there. It looks very attractive.
We wouldn’t have been happy with the price for our 50 meters (164 feet) of hedge.

Cemetery planting mainly consists of thuja and conifers... Do you have a picture of your European beech? How long do they keep their leaves?
