    hi everyone!!
    I'm just looking for some advice.. I am moving shortly to a house with an actual garden which I am so excited about. I can't wait to get stuck in.
    The first thing I would like to tackle is the fact that my back garden is overlooked by a main road so It's not very private and quite noisy. I'm wondering if there is any plants, preferably something evergreen that would offer us some privacy and noise reduction? Also, it would be brilliant if it was reasonably fast growing? Thanks and I'm open to all suggestion :)

    @Zigs told me that the shape of holly leaves muffles noise. I have a holly bush which stands about five feet tall in front of my front door and it is evergreen and provides good privacy. It isn't especially fast growing but it is very attractive.
