    Hi I'm just looking for some ideas my driveway on both sides is probably 100m. Don't really want a hedge or a fence looking for ideas if anyone has one.

    I guess it will depend on whats either side of the driveway.

    If there is room I'd go for a mix of native trees interspersed with flowering shrubs and perennials.

    Enjoy!

    You could just have wild hedgerows. Put in some hawthorn, blackthorn, a few acers and ash for height. Maybe a budleiea or two for the butterflies and bees. If you end up with a few nettles let them grow, they're great for all sorts of wildlife and you can make brilliant nettle fertilizer!

    How much space is there either side of the drive and is it straight or curved?

    Whatever you do think about future maintenance - that's a lot of potential work be it a couple of times a year or more often.
