I am leaving all my Ohias alone of course, I have only 2 small trees to move for a drive pad, that's it. Any suggestions on landscaping shrubs or trees for a living fence? Does anyone have a living fence?

Try salak palm. They grow together to make a border that no one wants to cross. It is like a porcupine fence if grow the plants a few feet apart. It also has fruit that taste a little like pineapples.
It is the most pig resistant plant I have grown when your grow a border of them.
