P. Bissetii 'Dwarf' questions

I wanted to try Phyllostachys Bissetii 'Dwarf' to make a hedge/screen. I had a couple of questions before trying. How wide should the hedge be to make a good screening effect? I am guessing like 3-5 ft maybe??? Can it be easily contained with "normal" mowing around the hedge every week or two from spring - fall. If turns out looking bad can I hack it down and keep mowing over it or will it still want to pop up from the ground. Can I plant it in July - October or should I wait until next spring? One last question, I only have about 6-8 inches of soil before it reach a ground out stump from an old tree, is this adequate?..Thank you for any help.
