Planting for a new build house - Native Hedging?

[Sunnyshores]

Im buying a newbuild house which was built on the familys farmland. Its an acre plot, 1/4 acre to the front and 3/4 acre at the back.

As I say its all 'grassy' weedy field, with farmland left, front and rear seperated with post and rail (or post and wire) fencing. To the right runs the road.

Id like to plant hedging roadside and rear. Ive come accross mixed native hedging which seems ideal as its ordinary hedging to be found wild in the coutryside - isnt it?

Also can you suggest a few small pretty native trees?

I think I need to get the boundaries secure/defined and then work on an actual garden.

Thank you for your help

sorry everyone I am still here & reading - busy with the tax return I should have done months ago. Love all the replies thanks.

Golden Alder (Alnus incana "Aurea") is a lovely small tree; not very fast growing, but hardy with very pretty red/pink catkins in spring through to summer.

Alders are very good for the soil, there's some bacterium that grows in the soil and helps replenish nitrogen, or something like that.

I would have one if I had your size of garden. And rowans too, both are native trees and will help wildlife.
