Here's another type of hedge that may do -- Rhamnus alternus (sp?).
It's a bit less dense than pittosporum tenuifolium, and so not as good
a screen, but it needs less pruning.  Both are evergreen.  Stay
away from barberry, which sheds little twigs with thorns on it for a
radius of five feet or so around it.
