How does your garden grow? Fad for ‘wild’ meadows can upset the neighbours
Quoting James Law of Stacks Property Finders
James Law, of Stacks Property Search, said: “We found a big appetite for what we call ‘rewilding-lite’. “The concept of restoring natural processes to large areas of the countryside would seem, on the face of it, hard to criticise, but some see it as antifarming, and others simply maintain that it doesn’t make any difference. “It can look somewhat scruffy. Allowing nature to take its course generally means an end to manicured lawns, pristine flower beds, and good weed control. And not everybody will share your joy for a less controlled environment,” Mr Law said. “Homeowners and buyers who are seeking a more environmental approach to managing their garden and land can quickly come up against resistance from neighbours who think that a paddock should contain sheep or ponies, that brambles are the enemy, that lawns should be weed-free and mown weekly, and moles are absolutely not welcome visitors. “On a small scale, rewilding probably has to be more managed than it would be on hundreds of acres, but as with all things there can be a good balance,” he added.

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
