Is it possible to keep leylandii under control by cutting it twice a year? i have a half acre site with the boundary on average 35 ft away from my house? im afraid to put hedging in again because of the harsh winters.

I planted a big laurel hedge last year both sides of my site and 75% have survived, the others have possibly died due to water logging ground. I also have a 100ft back boundary to my site away from the house. I would like to know is there any trees or hedges that would survive heavy ground, sometimes wet in wintertime . Getting a minidigger for digging drains is not an option now im afraid.

I recently planted some bare root willow slips to form a screen/hedge. I planted about 3ft apart. Can you give any advice on getting them going good? Can I put lawn cuttings around and between the willow? Thanks

Would you plant Alder , willow or Birch to form the best hedge/screen in a wet/ boggy area at the back of my site approx 100 ft from the house?Would the trees go bare at the bottom ?I really want to form a hedge/screen there eventually. Have you any other ideas? The ground is very wet during winter and dries out during the summer.
