10ft tall all down the driveway, so the potential new neighbors can't sit there and creep on me on their porch while i'm watering my plants in the drive, and as a bonus it'll keep their tree's stupid leaves in their yard where they belong
you can't even say i'm becoming a suburbanite, the town i live in is rural 
If you already have leaf psychosis that's a bad sign.
it's not my fault when these two huge oak trees next door just blast leaves onto my driveway and it's suddenly a huge My Problem
the previous owners made the house and garage connect so there's nowhere for it all to fucking go so I have to just blast it out of the driveway but the Lying Machine said if I just blast it back into the neighbor's yard they could theoretically blame me for illegal dumping
they are giving you free compost
They are giving you free mulch. Buy a leaf mulcher. Put it on your beds. Yeehaw.
Sending it into your neighbor's yard is what we call in Bird Law, a dick move. Sending it into the road is actually illegal.
My recommendation is to plant some native shrubs as a windbreak along the sides of your driveway, which will catch most of the leaves and keep them off the drive.

But they're leaves from THEIR trees! why's it have to be my fault for being, like, down wind of them
What do you mean, their trees? Trees belong to everyone and to themselves. You benefit from the shade and the oxygen, they beautify your life.
Don't worry so much about imaginary concepts like property and fault. Plants don't care about property lines. Maybe plant some more trees and then they can drop leaves on some ground you don't consider yours.
The trees are just living. Does your HOA make you clean up or something? Idk where you live so I can't recommend specific species, but you could totally just replace your lawn with cool native plants and just stop worrying about where leaves are and aren't.
the shade actively denies my container plants like 4 hours of sunlight
You might wanna check local regulations for that, a lot of places won't let you build fences over 6 ft without a retaining wall or bullshit like a lattice along the top or I assume it would be a lot more common for people to build fences where they can imagine the world stops at the wooden border around their house.
I need to figure out what the property line actually is, also, I should probably ask him
Don't ask. If you can't find survey pins in the yard, check your county's GIS records. It'll be accurate. No lying machines or lying people involved, and you probably won't have to talk to a person which is nice.
Good fences make good neighbors
depends on your city/county about permitting and height restrictions (and setback/right of way from the road), but definitely get the property line demarcated first.
ive had cool neighbors that i didn't mind having a permeable border with and had complete weirdos who get drunk and stare without waving back, try to take and claim ownership of things, and let aggressive dogs run amok. or just invite a constant stream of new sus people over to be sus with. i don't have nice things, but ive had my place broken into by a neighbor's associate before and they seem to have gotten pretty frustrated that i didn't have nice things and took that out on the things i did have.
a nice privacy fence isn't going to stop you from being friends with a cool neighbor.
I mean it doesn't need to literally be 10ft lol
lol yeah it does.
i looked mine up when i lived in a relatively small and dense but relatively permissive municipality once. basically, for anything above 4' tall fence, the setback was pretty much the front line of the house structure. a 4' could be run to the right of way/sidewalk.
once you hit the house setback, you could do up to 8' or apply for a variance for up to 10'. 8' is intense to stand near IRL.
the bin laden compound had 14' perimeter walls, which was too high for parabolic mics and camera observation of the grounds from nearby trees... so 14' is what i consider The Gold Standard for Being Weird™
I think a 7-8 foot fence would work well enough for this specific case, it's just our main entrance is on the side of the house with a driveway running along it, and their front door and porch are like 20ft away. I think at that distance i'd feel obscured enough doing stuff in my driveway
I could also just get over my desire to not be perceived
