Description

G1-2 x Laylandii conifer trees. Reduce height by approximately 2-3 metres and lightly reshape to maintain a natural appearance. Remove selected lower branches to raise the crown, keeping enough green growth for the trees to remain healthy. T2- Holly Tree (neighbouring garden). Remove all branches that are overhanging into the garden. Reason for Works: To allow more natural light into the small courtyard garden, which is currently shaded by the trees. The works will be carried out carefully to preserve the health and appearance of the trees. Data via plota.co.uk
