We are looking for a grass to plant along the driveway like a hedge. Any suggestions?
If you want a tall grass (4-5ft), then consider one of the Switch grass (Panicum) cultivars. Heavy Metal is bluish with reddish seed heads. There are several other good blue cultivars, but Prairie Sky tends to flop. Shenandoah is shorter, and more red. Another group for a great upright effect of similar height is the Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis), Karl Foerster being a popular and good cultivar. If in a warmer climate you might consider Fountain Grass (Pennisetum), about 3ft. There are many good cultivars of Eulalia (Miscanthus), from 4 to 8ft., which with short and cooler seasons in the north do not tend to seed nor become invasive.
