I have a laurel hedge in place since last year,about 300 metres.Some parts of it are thriving but one side which is very open to wind is lagging well behind. I have had a wind breaker in situ since they were planted but does not seem to have worked.The wind really batters the house and even though i hate leylandi it looks like i may have to plant some along this side to break the wind.Can you recommend how to get the laurel growing and a different type of hedge that will offer quick results for my dilemna,so i can have two options.
