Landscaping Border Privacy

[Doug99]

Hi All
I've recently had a tree removed but now wondering how to plant the corner to improve privacy.
The bay tree to the left is a lovely tree but young plants are slow growing and mature trees cost a bomb.
Another option is to extend the hedge from the RH border.
Any thoughts/recommendations?
Cheers
Doug

Surprisingly, a Yucca is evergreen and grows to three metres more quickly than most common trees.

Could try something different like a hornbeam. lovely colour changes through the year. Green to orange to brown and holds leaves. great for birds too. grows fast and makes a nice box hedge.

How important is it to you to have year round privacy? That would make a difference on deciduous or not...
