Hello, we moved in to our house 3 years ago but haven't done much to the garden yet (2 small children). The house behind us had a large horse chestnut and lots of other plants that provided excellent screening and we weren't overlooked. However they unexpectedly cut it all back a few weeks ago which has left us overlooked and the lovely rambling Rose is now drooping as it was supported in their plants!
I guess I'm going to have to cut that right back, but I would like to get some screening in place for the summer so we can enjoy the garden in private again. It faces SW so is the sunniest spot in the garden.
We don't have a huge budget but can anyone recommend plants that will grow quickly and are fairly easy to maintain? I was thinking of a flowering cherry but I'm guessing it would take a few years to get to any decent height?
