A couple years ago I bought a little over 5 acres to build my family’s forever home on. The land is all cleared and behind it was all woods. Well Mr. D R Horton has come along and built a huge neighborhood behind me. I need something that has coverage from the ground up to about 8-10 ft and grows quick. I have about 500ft I need to plant. I don’t want to put a wooden fence just across the back. What’s y’all suggestions. TIA

We are currently evaluating the same thing.
We are looking to put in Hollies in one part of the yard. They are slower growing; but should be a good barrier.
In another part of the yard, we are looking for something a little quicker growing.

Waiting on my order now of 20 coppertop viburnums. Wife’s cousin is a landscaping guy and recommended them for ease of care and quick growth. Need a barrier between my yard and neighbors ugly fence and loud kids.

Viburnum or clumping bamboo

What about Leyland Cypress? I don't have any but I'm looking to do something similar and they are fast growing, with good coverage and noninvasive roots. I'm really looking for feedback more than offering advice but these seem to meet your criteria.

Congrats on the airborne black mold spores.
Wax myrlte, ligustrum, sweet viburnum, Eagleston Holly, Japanese Blueberry, DD Blanchard Magnolias, and many more. I like to mix color, texture and heights, rather than have a straight line of the same thing. If you have to have it, might as well make it a added feature to your property.

I am liking the idea of sweet olive for a good part of my border. Had one prior and it was thick, thick, thick.

1000% would put bamboo. Would 1000% tell DR Horton I was putting up Bamboo unless they wanted to pay to plant some other hedge up.

500 ft is a lot of trees. I like the mixture idea. Not certain the Thuja would do way down south la. if thats where you live.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I live north of I-12. I looked at a lot of different options, just didn’t know what would grow good here.

Clumping bamboo. Low maintenance. Will pretty much stay green year round. I don't understand the hate for this stuff. It's great for houses with acreage.

Those things look legit and a little crazy. How are they in South LA?
Do you have some?

I like my golden goddess bamboo, just wish it would grow faster. On year 3 and its about 5-6’, my soil probably sucks tho

Elaeagnus pungens

I do not but I plan on buying some for my next house.
Not a bad price for 10 of them either.

Where do you live? It looks like I'm right on the zone limit in BR
