A photo worth a thousand words (well that's what we say ...), here is the situation:
If that gives you other ideas ...
Bushy plant fast growing against overlooked?

The situation seems to me to lend itself to the installation of a hedge.
With this in mind, I would suggest a mixed hedge with:
a) cut parts, right in the axis or axes where you want to cut the view; eg: arbor (keeps the leaves in winter); it can also be the bamboo I told you about (although a bit small! should be explored at a competent nurseryman, other tufted bamboos - this is how bamboos that grow in tight tufts are called - such as Fargesia having sufficient rusticity for your corner and sufficient height; with a photo, taken from the side, you can "measure" the height you need, in relation to the respective openings in your home and your opposite)
b) between these "formed" sections, a little rigorous, therefore a little sad and sterile, you bring a little life and usefulness: elderberries, hazelnuts, dogwoods ... Berries, birds, a little mess ...

Considering your situation and what you want.
I would say that holly lends itself well to what you want.
Climb high, grow quickly at the beginning (especially if it receives fertilizer).
Slow growth thereafter. stays green all year. With red berries in winter, for Christmas it is pretty. The size, once every 2 years should be fine. and again a very limited size.
The plants are not too expensive, in forest plants.
Avoid the rewinding, it is a misery.
Otherwise there is the If, that’s good too. but you have to be more careful at the waist. Whatever it will be necessary once to try the yew in the rasta fashion. it could be funny.

Thank you for these suggestions, I like a mixture of different plants.
The photinia red robin is actually pretty!
Since the creation of this subject, I planted knotweed (moved from another place in the garden) but even it is difficult to resume and grow (earth really really shitty at this place) ...
Hold on as I think about it: I would also like to stump ... the stump (of fir) that we see on this image (there is a block on it):
Anyone know an "economical" and not too tiring method ???

Thank you
It was precisely the method that I wanted to avoid!
ps: for the garlic method, I still have a doubt ...
