  G1 - Beech hedge - Cut back to previous historical cut to a height of 3 metres. Reason: The hedge is getting too big, and the owner of the house feels it needs to be reduced to a more manageable height. G2 - Laurel shrub - Cut back to a height of 3 metres (just above the gutter height of the bungalow). Reason: the shrub is far too tall and needs a good prune
