I am in southern California and have this area that is roughly 5'x40'. We want to put something inexpensive & low maintenance. We would like it to be about 6' tall screen hedge type to block the people who walk pass the house daily. We were looking at some tall grass but it says u have to cut it down seasonally. What would you suggest we plant that can be used as a screen? We will b remodeling the whole house and that area probably won't exist any more so I don't want to spend a lot of money for an area that might be torn up in a year or so.
Currently we have the big leaf ivy which isn't doing too well since our inexperience gardener hacked the dead leaves with his weed wacker. He is no longer allow to use his weed wacker here. Ever since it hasn't grown back and some areas taking months and months to grow a leaf or two along with weeds. I couldn't find the same ivy plants at home depot to add more to the ground covering.
Any suggestions on cheap and easy, I mean affordable and low maintenance?
Thank you!!
