Anyone have any shrubs/hedges set up as a privacy wall?  
What do you use, how well does it grow in our area?

I’m leaning towards Thuja Green Giants…

Looking for a fast growing evergreen.  
I poked around nurseries last year looking, but wasn’t ready yet. Now this spring I’ve got to get a move on.

I have some sort of English shrubs right now they are a bit unwieldy due to lack of keeping the bush line thin (this type works when thin) but if I was planting from scratch I strongly lean towards Leyland Cypress.
