Leylandii - is it poisonous and legal issues, please

Anything evergreen is poisonous ..you may have to plant a beech hedge or fence..

Suspect OP sorted now, but hawthorn gives a good thick barrier for noise protection. If you want faster growth and more height some willow in there may also work (but lacks density to work on its own). Both non toxic as far as I am aware.

still toxic, they are less likely to eat it though. Very slow growing too.
