cutting willow screening

[minnie pal]

can you actually cut this stuff.
Anyone seen this being sold now at a really good price?
I have bare divide walls and thought i would trim the willow screen in half and place it against the walls.
I thought too, as drainage is poor that i would leave it about an inch off the ground.
there is a sort of wall capping and above that again are these bright orange lattice screen put up by - ?
I then thought i would place the other half on top of this capping to screen out half the horrible lattice and leave half for when the neighbours want a chat, i love that too, but i think this is a good compromise!!
what say my expert friends here?
