noise
"JJE O'Connor" wrote in message ... I have moved into a house next to a main road. Does anyone have any advice on how I can minimise traffic noise please ? I do not want a wall or fence. What plants are best for this - I've been thinking of a hedge in which case any advice on what sort of hedge please ? Regards Jim I remember reading somewhere that what you need is both height and density, so that for example trees were very poor unless you had a deep wood, and conversely a very dense hedge that was only 6ft high wouldnt be much good either as the sound just travels over the top. Which probably makes the dreaded leylandii your best bet. How far is it to the rd? IF its within a few feet, probably the best you can do is make sure the sides of the house are well blocked so the back garden is quiet! -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |
