    hi am looking for some advice. there is a small strip of grass between the side of my house and next door. i would like to plant a hedge and went digging there today but about six inches down i was met by concrete. the strip of grass as my photo shows is between two footpaths. . i had intended to plant Portuguese laurel but six inches down is not enough root space. has anybody any suggestions as to hedging plants with small root requirements. i have thought about box hedging but wonder if it will do well. i have some plants and they have tiny roots but wonder if they will need much more space as they grow older. also the area is quite shaded.

    Is there good drainage? An Alpine maybe?
