Answer

What is the best hedge for privacy?

Evergreens like yew, laurel or hornbeam for year-round screening; yew is the classic.

In short

For year-round privacy, evergreen hedges such as yew, laurel or hornbeam (which holds its leaves) are the usual choices, balanced against how much you want to maintain and the high-hedge rules over 2 metres. Yew is the classic for a dense, formal, long-lived screen. We design the hedge to the setting.
