Default noise barriers?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a house that is about a quarter of a mile from a
noisy bypass (A41) - is there any effective way of reducing the noise by
planting/building a wall etc?
I've heard that a solid, dense structure such as a wall is the best
olution - has anybody tried this? The sound is mainly mid frequencies, with
the occasional low-frequency rumble from lorries, if that makes any
difference. Many thanks for any help.
