We live about 1 from the coast in north mayo. we are on top of a hill and the north wind blows straight in our back door. the back garden is split level so our boundry line is 6-7 feet below our footpaths. what type of trees/hedging can we plant , fast growing preferably, about 50 yards from the house.

You could plant alder and Scots pine or radiata pine, both robust trees, the second two evergreen. Plant a belt about ten metres wide with trees at 1.5 metres centres, randomised spacings, not in rows.
