Default New Garden,boundary suggestions please ?

Go for some trees down one side with some woodland edge shrubs to fill in
the gaps That will keep it looking natural I would put the trees down the
sode of the prevailing wind so hopefully you will get soem benefit of
shelter from the elements.

The other sides you sould use Hawthorns and .Hazels. These trees can be
used in their shrub form by copicing to keep them at waist or shoulder
height (whatever suits your fancy).

Heres some background reading

Hi folks

I will shortly be starting a new (rear) garden measuring 10M deep by
29M wide which has been carved out of a field used for grazing sheep.
The garden has a boundary with the remaining field consisting of a 3
foot heigh wire fence with wooden fence posts topped by a strand of
barbed wire.

I would like to keep the views of the field and trees in the distance
while hiding the fence so don't want to plant 30ft leylandii as a
hedge. Also since the garden looks like a narrow strip while viewed
against the field have you any suggestions on giving the garden an
illusion of some depth.

The side garden also measures 10M by 30M that will be bounded by a
wooden fence.

Thanks

Paul
