My house and yard gardener (wife - trained ornamental gardener) did not want cherry laurel, boxwood, privet, and especially no thuja (no idea if I spelled everything correctly). She advises against bamboo for everyone, as it needs an extreme amount of water and spreads everywhere (partly even through the root barriers).
She decided on three hedges:
1. A hedge of photinia. Depending on the nutrients in the soil (or sunlight), it has either green leaves or reddish leaves with us (I suspect these as reasons for the different colorations). It also forms very beautiful clusters/flower clusters. We planted this hedge to camouflage our L-stones as well as a fence guard (fall protection above the L-stones).
2. A flowering hedge that covers another fence and limits the view to undesirable neighbors. Since these neighbors have excavated their property, we could directly overlook the entire plot. Here, my wife selected various shrubs (e.g. lilac) that bloom at different times.
3. A fruit and flowering hedge for our beloved neighbors. This was planted together with the neighbors. It contains fruit plants such as raspberry, blueberry, and chokeberry. This was complemented by a few other plants like elderberry or lilac.
At the third boundary, the neighbors planted cherry laurel. The front part of the "boundary area" has not yet been planted. Here, when the time comes, photinia will be planted by us again.
