If you are purchasing a new home be very aware of the effect of sunlight on the building.

In this diagram a perfectly normal house but the main garden at the rear, will be in shadow for most of the day.

However, all depends on the balance of your individual property, of which garden areas and rooms you primarily want to utilise and when.

The most important aspect is you  know what you are taking on.

Which is where the  Garden Planner’s Sun Compass comes in!
