Sempervirens, I like a more natural look but still love a formal garden so my gardens are a bit of a mix between the two. I love hedges and topiary. I have a huge Juniper hedge that doesn't get much in clipping only when Ric says it it eating the the yard or I can't get into the car because of the branches covering the parking area. A good size row of Leland Cypress to hide the neighbors back along the pasture. Then there is the clipped Yew walk thru, L shaped Holly hedge, variegated Boxwood hedge between the Secret Garden and the Veggie Garden and the small Nandina Hedge along the back fence of Alfie's yard.
I know that I could have put in a much nicer multi-layered buffer between us and the neighbors.I probably would have if I actually owned the property. When I talked to the owner he was fine with us planting a row of trees along his property line. The Leland fit the bill. They grew fast and filled in, take practically no care other than a twice yearly cleanout behind them to keep the neighbors vines from consuming them.
Here is a pic of the L shaped Holly hedge and the finally starting to fill in variegated Boxwood hedge, have to get into the other computer for pics of my other hedges.
