We want tob immediately plant screening that will grow very quickly to obscure the house.
I need to screen a neighbours window (about 40feet away that they have just installed) Thank evergreen would be best.It’s difficult to know what’s wrong with your Red Robin without seeing it, but here is a link to the RHS advice guides – scroll down to ‘problems’.Thanks for an interesting article. You can also prune the roots on the wall side, and if necessary protect the back of the planting hole with paving slabs. I’ve found crab apple surprisingly good for screening, though it will take 2+ years before it’s properly established. Its roots won’t affect pavements or basements and it has glorious spring blossom and autumn colour.The leaves aren’t too dense – these upper windows in Faversham are private without being too dark.
We are often asked how close can a fruit tree be planted to the wall of a house. Have considered a tree of some sort to eventually replace the old hedge, so either a hornbeam or birch would fit the bill. I have a corner lot and my backyard is cornered by one very busy and one busy street. And about the Silver Birches – there are so many varieties, some are much more spectacular/good value than others.Funnily enough, I had considered including Parrotia Persica (Persian Ironwood) as garden designer Caroline Garland recommended it.

The questions you need to answer for the brief is ‘Do we want to block a sightline (ie just from one or two windows) or do we want a complete screen?’ ‘Do we want to buy mature trees or hedging (expensive) or are we prepared to wait a few years for younger trees or hedges to mature? I will definitely return to this subject as it is a common Middlesized problem!Very interesting post, we have three huge out of place conifers at the end of our smallish town garden planted and allowed to grow this tall by previous owners. I hope that helps.We have recently moved to a house with a smaller garden and want to replace a very large laurel that is maybe 10ft tall with a slim but fast growing conifer or taxus. Are you going to tell me it’s completely unsuitable as it grows to be a monster, or spreads to be 50′ wide?? Also how long to they take to grow up to 20 feet?It’s difficult to be exact as to how quickly a tree grows, because it depends so much on how big it is when it is planted, growing conditions, aspect etc, but ‘Chanticleer’ is regarded as a ‘medium-fast’ grower. And it’s cheaper to buy younger, smaller trees.
