Description

The large 30 year old Leylandii conifer in the centre of the photo the bottom of our garden now needs to be removed to ground level, and the Acacia just visible poking through on the left hand side (that is actually just on the neighbours side No 14) and the Acer visible tight agains the conifer on the right side will both probably require a bit of trimming to shape them better to hopefully allow them to recover after being so dominated by the conifer.
