Welcome to GoY. I notice you say you're a farmer, mother and keen gardener... if you're a farmer and a mother, I'm wondering how much time have you got for gardening?!

It's hard to advise without viewing the area - any chance you could take plenty of photos and upload those by clicking on Garden Pictures above, uploading them and then maybe coming back to this thread and saying you've done that? Also adding information like which way various areas face (north, south, etc).

In the meantime, seek out pictures for ideas in general, either on the web or in books, in particular, plantings round bungalows - they usually have all round gardens.

Thinking about a shelter belt a hedge is better than a fence as it slows the wind down rather than simply diverting it over the top as a fence does. Have a look at the RHS page on windbreaks and shelter belts for lots of useful info..

Thanks firstly for making me feel so welcome, GoY is so friendly! I have added some pics now, hard to show full perspective. I have a native hedgerow and lawn established (well i say established hedge is now 2 years old so still got lots of filling in to do).

As for time my other half normally keeps the grass cut so any time I get I can concentrate on other tasks, and my lb loves to be outside but generally speaking the garden will need to be fairly low maintenance, (i am in the garden at every opportunity though) Oh and there is not much money available for hard landscaping.

The largest area is south facing and is where the French door open on to, the area I am most stuck on is the east facing section which had the best views and is currently all lawn.

Thanks as any ideas much appreciated!

Perhaps you need a plan which will break up the level both horizontally and vertically, so some fairly large shrubs that would partially screen off some of the space and give a feeling of exploration when you go down the garden? They would frame the view and make it more enticing.A few trees at least - have a look at Rowan or Silver birch, both OK in windy positions. Griselinia and Eleagnus Ebbingii are tough and fairly quick growing and the latter has tiny white highly scented flowers which you can easily miss! Holly too - if you only want one look out for a self fertile variety. You might even plant several and make a mini hedge in a curve somewhere to shelter a bed on the west side of it from the NE winds of winter.) Or positioned to shelter from the prevailing wind if you like)
Rosa Rugosa is tough too - a bed of them survives right on the sea cliffs here with no maintenance I've ever noticed, and they have huge hips as well as good flowers (and thorns!)

Get your basic framework of trees and shrubs first to give yourself some sort of pattern to develop round.

Thank you for adding photos. I see some of the fencing is large square mesh. That would be good for growing clematis, sweet peas etc. You would need to train then on the fence if you don't want them too high. Steragrams advice is very good. A few trees maybe fruit trees would be good. You can buy espalier ones which would give you lower growing cover without cutting down on the view.
