I'm looking for ideas on plants I could use as a privacy screen between my house and the neighbors. Here is my situation: I'm in Zone 6, dry climate. My neighbor and I want to create a privacy screen between our houses. We don't want to erect a fence but are looking at other alternatives, such as planting bushes or other plants that will grow (preferably fairly rapidly) into a natural privacy screen that extends from ground level to about 6 ft. tall. We would prefer using something that would provide privacy year 'round, such as evergreens. Our houses are only about 15-20 feet apart and the area in between is very shady because the two houses keep it shaded most of the day. Also, there are two tall pine trees (with no lower branches)situated close to the property line. The area we are looking at is about 20 feet in length. Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have.
