I found this excellent website showing the different sorts of hedges used for different applications ranging from instant hedging thro anti- intruder hedging to coastal hedging. I thought it might be an interesting reference for boaters to decipher the type of hedge best suited to pissing in / looking thro / being sick in / throwing other boaters into / chucking valuables under / chucking faeces into or for simply just burning!

The farmer next door has finally felled 13 giant conifers and Im left now with large expanse of nothing....I didn't want to put wooden fence..to much to paint and the existing wire fence is all bent n broken so I was looking to having a go at repairing the posts(how difficult can that be?) then botching re-attaching wire and then disguising enhancing with hedge...so what to chose??? Gotta be fast growing/evergreen and dense....its going to have to hide all the evidence of my latest have a go project

Leylandii is pretty fast growing but would need very regular trimming and management.
I guess that's probably what the farmer has just chopped down..
We had box hedges at our mansion in morningside in Edinburgh where I lived briefly as a small child. They were nice but not particularly high. More of a decorative hedge than functional and we did not need to shield ourselves from neighbours as there were high walls around the perimeter for that.
Typo edit

Wasn't cheap, went for two offset rows, within 3 years it was up to 5' (the desired height). Looks like this in the summer this in Autumn And this in Winter

Beech is pretty good. My dad had some beech hedges at his previous house. Very nice colours. I specially like the early season colour of the leaves.
There is a drink called "Beech leaf noyau" which can be made with the fresh spring leaves. Its a gin thing. I've not tried it as when I lived surrounded by large gardens I had no interest in alcohol.
I don't know if people do thorn hedges in residential situations but they are quite satisfactory beside the cut. Specially Hawthorn. Nice durable hedge if well laid.

A couple of hedge mates went for a night out on the town and didn't meet up afterwards. They met the next day for a cup of tea around lunchtime. Hedge 1 "I had a great night last night". Hedge 2 "me too - did you get laid?"
