Ich bin gerade dabei, den Vorgarten zu ordnen und möchte hier Pflanzen, Hecken oder Bäume anpflanzen, um etwas mehr Privatsphäre und Farbe zu schaffen, und weiß nicht wirklich, wo ich anfangen soll. Weiterlesen, um Lorbeeren zu vermeiden? Jede Hilfe wäre dankbar!

Plant a native hedge.
I am very new to gardening so I can’t say I am the best one to give advice, but have fallen in love with camelias! They bloom beautifully, are ever green and can be found at a really reasonable price. Ours bloomed in Jan and is still going strong so brings a night pop of colour in a winter garden 🤷🏻♀️
I love my Holly.
Dogwoods for the win for some spectacular winter colour, there are some lovely specimens to choose from.
Rather than a boring hedge… You could grow climbers up that trellis, lonicera, clematis, jasmine etc, then underplant with some nice shrubs, perennials or even bedding plants
Do you park a car on the drive? Might reconsider a hedge if you do.
Rosemary makes an amazing fragrant hedge.
No Portuguese laurel or camellias, they just look tacky I always think. The shiny one dimensional leaves look cheep. You already have a hydrangea, why not continue the whole row? And plant a climber behind like another poster suggested- if you’ve never seen chocolate akebia quinata before look them up they’re stunning! Alternatively if you want height how about lilacs or narrow decorative cherry trees. Even though they’re not evergreen they make up for it by greeting you with breathtaking moments every year, and you’ll start looking forward to those months. A dense dark hedge will never thrill.
Some of the responses here are bonkers; OP wants privacy and seasonal interest thinking shrubs and trees and people are suggesting small perennials and climbers which will do nothing what they want.
@OP you need to find out the orientation of the fence and what depth of soil you have there and then decide. No point putting in something that doesn’t like exposure/northernly winds and poor drainage. Putting in something large (and costlier) will likely fail as the space is likely too small. Something small that’ll grow into the space will be more likely to take but you’ll have to wait.
I would put a hornbeam hedge in. It has lovely seasonal interest, tolerates poor soil and looks great. I’ve got a beech hedge which I think is get too but harder to get started
