Our living room bay window is 15 feet from the driveway of 6 other homes. We know when everyone comes home as their car light shines in house. Any fast growing screen that we can plant infront of our windows?
thank ewe

Here's a list of some fast growing privacy trees. Hope one of those works for you! http://www.networx.com/article/fastest-growing-trees-for-home-landscape
Hi Michele instead of blocking your view all the time with shrubs or a trellis you could purchase blackout shades to pull down at night. You could also get light blocking curtains http://amzn.to/2skDOX8 that are not horribly expensive. That way you get the best of both worlds. I also took into consideration that the plants usually don't stay green all year plus you will still get some light peeping through the leaves and branches. Hope this helps.
Thank ewe - we do have shades & they are a hassle to pull up & down when a lovely evergreen of some sort can filter for us. our house is called the mouse house for a reason - 450 sq feet. Do you want a photo of it to show askers? How do i send you the file for folks to reasoned about the best evergreen living filters for next to a road please
