    Orchard House Ablington Bibury Cirencester Gloucestershire GL7 5NY

    Crown Lifting all roadside Leylandii and Western Red Cedar trees by 2metres, to enable all traffic to use the road more easily and safely. This roadside boundary consists of 9 leylandii, 62 western red cedars. There are other species within it, including limes, holm oaks, spruce and beech, however it is the leylandii and western reds which are predominantly sprawling over the road. Light maintenance pruning maybe required to the other species at the same time.
