laurel is probably a better option. Easier to maintain and grows quickly.

Fred · Answer

Give it a try . Or go to.  Where plants  and planted in pots all kinds of hedging.

Edward · Answer

Yes Beech makes a good decorative hedge, as does Hornbeam, but both are slow growing and fairly soon, in the damp ground conditions is an ideal time to plant bare root trees.
Just avoid planting Leylandi, which although fast growing can get out of control and become too large.
Listen to last Friday's Gardeners Question Time to hear about other tree options and their advice on keeping the hedge in good order.
Hope its of help
