I was told privet hedges are cheap and can be bought at decent sizes, like 5-6 footers, as well as the Leylands/green giants/etc...But with those, there seems to be an awful lot of places selling them at different rates per size and I've also heard conflicting info as to the heartiness, as some are prone to disease and other crap.
I need to do this before I open my pool, so it's like crunch time right now.
Stupid neighbors cut down all the vegetation along my property line because they were scared to death of poison ivy, to which there was none. This sucks, because once spring came I had total and complete privacy in my yard. So once again my skel neighbors are going to cost me money.

Avoid Privet hedges, they're ugly as sin and are a nightmare when you decide to remove them. I just went through trying to spruce up mine, it started to grow back nice and thick, then turned back to ugly garbage. Perhaps try burning bush, they grow fast and look killer in the fall. I ended up opting for a row of boxwoods, they grow slow but are low maintenance and stay green year round.
