Privacy

 
Hi everyone

First time post.
Got a bit of a problem require privacy in my garden but the boundary
fence is my
neighbours and is only 3ft high and they dont want to
replace it for a higher
one.  The next problem is that I only have a
narrow gap to plant and a
supporting wall for the rest of the garden.
What could I grow that will be high
for privacy but would grow over next
doors and the roots wont effect my
supporting wall.  My thoughts were
bamboo but is there a better option I havent
thought of. Any ideas will
be great

What is your climate?

How long is the boundary fence?

Huge caution about bamboo.  Unless you get a variety that doesn't
spread underground, it will take over everything and will be very
difficult to remove.  How narrow is your planting gap?  You could do a
Web search for plants that meet your needs.

Aside from planting a privacy border, you could always build your own
fence just inside the neighbor's, as tall as your local code permits.

the boundary fence length which needs privacy is 4 foot.  The fence is
also on a bank going up.  I only have about a foot of room to plant.
Not growing over next doors means no branches which will grow over the
boundary fence.  Would I be ok with clump growing bamboo or not?   Any
help will be great Higgs Boson;906342 Wrote:

Bamboo is an extremely invasive plant.  I vote no.

 
Erect your own privacy fence, on your property, a taller fence... a 4'
length of stockade 6' tall and two fence posts couldn't cost more than
US$50.
