I would like to put something between mine and the neighbours front property. The gap is 12" wide by about 10m. What could I plant that isn't too big. I have leylandi on the other side but that gap is a lot wider and leylandi is quite thick and woody. Evergreen ideally. Thanks

How high do you want it?

If its just something to mark a border then a run of lavender plants might suit you?

Laurel. It can be trimmed narrow and topped.

Actually, maybe beech? Ive had both and beech might be better.

I like Euonymous for attractive evergreen foliage. I think it does tend to grow quite slowly though.

It definitely comes from many suppliers other than the one in the link.

I’d have a look at Portuguese Laurel over the standard Laurel we have in this country. A landscaper recommended it, slower growing smaller leaves. Laurel is great but it needs wat seems like constant pruning ! Have two big laurel hedges……
