Other Comments:
I am looking for evergreen tree/hedging that can plant in the raised planter to hide the boundary wall. We will get sunlight in that areas 5-6 hours in the summer and no sunlight in the winter. Could you please suggest some trees or hedging for this areas. Also, I need to be mightful of the root system that doesn’t want to damage the neighbour’s wall.

Answer:
Sorry Aravind, but there is nowhere near enough information there for me to be able to help you. I strongly suggest that you get local advice including a site visit from a landscaper or horticulturist to assess what can be done. Don
