How about a giant recycled glass vase or bottle filled with fairy lights or better still a group of three. Since recycled glass is imperfect it will reflect the lights beautifully. You can also add other things in with the lights as well for a more subtle feel. Some artificial silk petals would look lovely. Here’s some bottles: http://www.hicksandhicks.com/hicks-and-hicks/giant-clear-recycled-glass-bottle.aspx Garden Trading have got a lovely hand blown glass vase as well. Also have a look on eBay or Etsy for vintage finds. I agree with the fairy light trees, I think they look a bit plasticky. Hope you find something lovely, plus the cat looks very comfy there:)

Love that wall! Silver birch are forest trees and become huge and their roots spread out quite a way so not suitable near walls, paths and houses. We made that mistake as ours tore up our neighbours path and had to be removed. A sad day. Smaller trees, but not dwarf, are Amelanchier, Crab Apple, Pear, Mountain Ash, Ornamental Cherry and Magnolia. A lovely tree that loves sun is a Fig. They grow to about 10-15’ and are quite wide, but the fruit is divine! Shrubs that love sun that grow grow well in my garden are Ceanothus, Hibiscus, dwarf Lilac, Cotinus and, of course, Roses.

Do not despair, there is a lot you can do to make your garden more secluded with new fencing and clever planting. Is this your only garden? Can I ask whether there is any covenant preventing you from having a taller fence? If not, then can I suggest a 5’ solid fence all round, with a gate. Most dogs will easily jump over your current fence and I’m sure you want to keep your dog safe. If a solid fence is not allowed, then a tall picket fence will do the job, or add taller panels to your current fence as in the second pic. I think a pergola in one corner will give you some more privacy, and you can plant climbers on it for even more privacy (first pic). You can buy them as a flat pack or get a carpenter to make and build one for you. You can add comfy seating, and a doggy bed, under it so you can enjoy your garden on warm days. Now for the planting. I think tall shrubs will create a secret garden effect which will drown out traffic noise and visitor noise! Things like evergreens Viburnum tinus, Ceanothus, Photinia and Choisya ternata Sundance. They can be the bones of your garden. Then add shrubs that are deciduous but add colour in the spring and summer, things like Shrub Roses, Hibiscus, dwarf Lilac, Cotinus and Climbers like Clematis, Star Jasmine, Honeysuckle and climbing roses. These need a wall or trellis or an obelisk to climb up. I can see you have some planting already which is great. The final addition to the planting is perennial flowers and bulbs, but the planting above will create a cosy garden, if you don’t want more planting. Here’s a few pics to inspire you and hopefully reduce your despair! 😊
