I am in Hertfordshire and looking to buy a tree to help with screening a new build house that has just popped up overlooking the otherwise private garden.

Can anyone suggest a place to buy a tree and any specific types that would help eith screening?

I can’t really afford to spend a huge amount and wanted to find a solution under £200

How about a bamboo hedge? Plant in pots so it doesn't invade the garden, choose one that will grow to a manageable height. Its evergreen and pretty instant, sounds nice in the wind too.

That’s a good option. Then I don’t need to put it in the ground so it will have more height anyway. Is it something I can buy online as I’ve never seen big ones for sale in garden centres?

Be careful with a tree as you may end up covering your garden in shade ( depending on the orientation. The bamboo hedge sounds good, or a pleached hedge.
