Reply to: A trellis fence could be a solution. Plant some lower shrubs and climbers against it to soften it. It will screen your windows from the neighbours, but it won't be entirely closed off. You won't have to go all the way down the drive with the fence.

Reply to: Photinia Red Robin..............great Evergreen shrub / bush. Lovely red leaves on the new growth which then turn green. You can buy these as larger or smaller shrubs depending on your budget. Pear Trees won't work, for one thing they're not evergreen and another it's a tree. Don't be fooled by this 'patio / dwarf' variety, all poppycock, they will reach their normal height if not constantly pruned. We keep all of our fruit trees to around 9 feet, but that's too high for outside a lounge window. We have our Photinias planted for privacy reasons, but we've got them as standard plants. Therefore, the light comes in over and under the head of the plant, but the head is around 5 feet high and stops people seeing directly in. This is exactly what ours look like except this is in a pot and ours are in the ground. I would have gone outside and taken pics ( maybe later ), but it's tipping it down again!
