Since these people have been this way for a long time, and will not likely change, you might want to start-a-planting. I know it won't help for your party, but for the future, it is IMO the prettiest way to hide what you don't want to see.

And, I get to say I am Green!
we are thinking of planting more lilacs along the fence, but even if we did do that, you can still see the crap in the winter, and much worse because there aren't leaves on the bushes along the fence.
