Problem / need solution!

We really NEED some sort of privacy screening from our nextdoor neighbors!!!

MS zone 7 clay soil, mild winter, humid hot summers! Soil in this particular area is very good(woodsy area). Lots of humus mixed in with clay.

Ideally, I need something fast growing, that likes shade. One area is part-shade, the rest is pretty much full shade (deciduous woods). Must be evergreen.

We are desperate for some privacy from these neighbors(they bug us a lot) and really we want to enjoy our outdoor space without them!

We could put up trellises and put vines on them. What would you suggest?? What vines would fill in quickly(evergreen) in shade. One area part-shade the rest very shady. I think this would give us more privacy than waiting for shrubs to grow.

Thanks so much. Could use a good solution that doesn't break the bank, so to speak. It's just too difficult to fence back there with all the trees. We could put up well placed trellises (between gaps in trees) with thick vines.
