Here is a new garden for a new-build house planted Winter/Spring 2010/11. The advantage of planting hedges relatively small is that you can let them grow slowly to a height that suits the site - not too high and not too low - eye heights vary - not all my clients are 6'4'' like me.

Here is a photo, take in August, of a little orchard of crabapple and hawthorn trees, planted last Winter and now, because of the extraordinary Spring we had this year, struggling with an unusually heavy crop of fruit. The house has been extensively restored and the garden, which was a wilderness a few years ago, entirely recreated and re-imagined.
