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.
