The 2' high holly bushes that were planted along our back wall and side walls in 2011 are now as high as the wall itself. In fact a couple of years ago I had to buy a black & decker trimmer to keep them as low as the walls. It is really a great hedge and the birds, Cardinals, Finches, Mockingbirds and Brown Thrashers live in the hedge. I don't see the wall at all. We have about 20' from our lanai to the wall, plenty of room for a table & chairs, a grill and reclining chairs. It's like having your own secluded world, I wouldn't trade it for a designer home. I would of maybe have gotten a corner lot like my neighbor and had a birdcage and a pool.
