Put up a fence. Arborvities grow huge and brittle and will snap off in heavy snoe or ice storm. Mine crushed a '62 Chevy. Good thing that the neighbor was a good sport. Bamboo as a fence is dangerous, it spreads by runners and when you mow , you get pungi sticks. Your days of enjoying the backyard barefoot will be over for at least 100 years or until the bamboo blooms and dies. Japanese knotwood is just a pia, it's a spreader and hard to kill. All this from first hand experience, those plants will beat you. Go fence.. Just read RIRockhound's post, good solution, not too much work

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
