Re: Hedges

Depends of course on the height and kind of hedge you want---all one thing clipped, or looser but still a visual perimeter and barrier. I am more inland (NE Los Angeles) but these are things I like, that I believe could work on the coast as well. 

Olea 'Little Ollie' (dwarf olive)
Pittosporum 'Silver Sheen' (can be loose or clipped-truly a wonderful and versatile landscaping plant ) 
Adenanthos (wooly bush)
dwarf citrus, esp. kumquat
pomegranate (deciduous but twiggy enough to still be a barrier).
Nandina
I have some big old pomegranates that if wedded to each other by some dwarf citrus would make a fine hedge--at least that's my plan! The deciduous augmented by the evergreen, both with nice fruit. 

Best of luck-
Laura

PS I am very interested to see other recommendations!
