I am starting a new garden in our newly built home. For planning we had to position the house to the rear of the site, leaving a very large front garden. Space to the back is limited. Total area 1 acre approx… including house. Fabulous views on an elavated site. Problem…I need to create shelter without blocking scenery. Problem…the site is quite elavated and I need someone to advise me on earth movement to get good levels…I want a very rustic, habitat friendly garden and don’t know where I can find a landscaper that is sympathetic to the site. Problem….don’t have a large budget. Full of problems!! Any suggestions welcome.

A gardenof one acre can easily take one third or even a half the area planted to trees and these will form the structure and areas of garden.
Every garden needs a private area near the house. Usually this is at the back but can be to the side if this is not possible.
