Well it's all up to you it is called topiary. I would suggest a hedge that does not loose its leaves in winter.
So get crackin ! Topiary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jude, I do not believe this is funny. The situation is not a gut feeling as some are taking the post that way. It really is how neighbors respect each other. Providing another neighbor a small amount of repsect in how the back yards of their homes may offend their neighbors and showing respect should have been their first step.
Funny because I too would still love my neighbors but some times keeping clear of them for a time may give them the right picture. However, I would inform them that I am not angry at them but their new fixture has given us a rather different view of our once beautiful and serene view of nature.
Of course making a natural ledge of potted plants would work for you but still make it known to them you would have liked to have been informed of what they were going to do so you can adjust your sight and adjust your shrubs to delete the mechanical thing in their yard.
We had a swimming pool with the required fence installed in Pa home 10 years ago but we first asked our neighbors just because I did not want bad feelings. They said it was a great idea. When it was finished we had such a great big party and everyone was invited. We had the party catered. I was just amazed at the amount of people and party stuff can fit on 3/4 of an acre lot.
We no longer live in Pa but no matter what we do to our grounds we like to include our neghbors in our decisions. We even asked them if it was ok if we planted 8 palm trees on our present home lot and they said "Of course". We had a party when we finished. Why not!
I always told my wife we all need to "start off slow then ease up"....
You still have a view of nature even though it may be narrowed. You have a great attitude. Please keep it up and good luck.
Normally, I don't post to threads that have over 5 pages, but I found this interesting.
If your HOA has regulations on satellite dishes then your neighbor is likely in the wrong. And this is why HOAs is among one of my most HATED organizations! I would live in a desolate barn first. I live in a culdesac that my husband and I refer to as "the neighborhood of low expectations", because we are so lax about what eachother does. While we would never be featured in a "home magazine", I like it that way.
I have a friend in SE Portland, an old hippie who likes colors, and M&Ms. He bought an old house and made a plan to paint it in M&Ms colors, each side with a different one. He met with the neighbors to the sides and front of him, and he told them up front that he was definitely going to do this, BUT he had them all pick the colors they could live with from their sides. It was an amazing strategy. So one side is green, another red, etc. . . With a yellow door. It's actually quite pretty (but I like colors).

Reps to you! It's all about respect for one another. Yes, it is your property but you need to have some thought about your neighbor especially when in close proximity to one another.
Neighbor put satellite dish smack in middle of landscaping
