hardy laurel only cost me £40 and only took me 30 mins! It's not our main garden, just a grassy area at the front and to the side of the house. We didn't even know it was ours when we moved in! I just wanted something better than bits of concrete - the laurel can't be any worse than that

Hmmm... I had noticed the laurels. My advice was patience (while the Laurels grow) and white paint. Nothing is instant unless you plant larger plants to begin with. I was going to suggest a couple Arborvitae in 5 gallon pots for instant beautification but you had already planted the laurels. If you think laurels are cheap and nasty, why did you plant them?

You have set your course; wait for the laurels to grow. You can toss some flower seeds there but they won't get that tall and will have to compete with a lot of other plants for water, root space and nutrients.
