Wait until winter when you can get bare rooted shrubs to plant as hedging, There are all in pots now and will cost a lot more. The nurseries will have them but better again from a farmers market or similar where you can deal direct with the grower.

or, find a hedge you like and take some cuttings, stick in in post with some rooting compound and this time next year you will have a mini hedge.

futureforests.net seem to be good value - not as cheap as buying in winter but cheaper than garden centres now.
