We just had some landscaping done at our house with an awesome landscaping company. First of all, the rule is that your "beds" have to begin (i.e. the back side) a minimum of 3ft from your property. Sounds like you bed for that would be a least 2-3 wide. Our people drew of a very detailed design and presented it for us. They are experienced, and know what will pass and what won't, so you don't have to keep going back over and over. If you are just doing 2 "rows of bushes", you may be able to figure it out by yourself . We did Podocarpus on one side and Viburnum on the other side. At this point, I like the Podocarpus better, but, I think at some point the Virburnum leaves change color a bit, and gets a pretty white flower. If your is narrow though, you may prefer using the same thing on both sides. I say definitely get the board's (or whatever you call it) approval. Enjoy

I think that is because you would have been planting in the neutral ground. The rule says you have to be at least 3ft inside your property line, so there is no way you can share a hedge. We just had landscaping done, that's why I know this. We interviewed 4 different companies, and all of them knew that as the rule. Our plan was approved 1st time out. I'm sure that's why yours wasn't approved. We have Podocarpus too (among other things). I love them!

Always entertaining to read what people come up with when they don't want to follow the terms of a contract that they signed.

Just a word of advice, be sure to leave adequate room to be able to walk between your birdcage and the hedges you plant when they become fully mature. You will need to have room to prune them and keep them from growing into your birdcage screen.

Your landscaper should know. They’ll also get approval, if needed. You might be talking about Hawthorn bushes.

Not all contracters will take this on. Even if they say they do. Always make sure to sign the application for approval, and then obtain a copy of the approval documents. Do this before work is started.
