  32 Sinclair Close Parkwood Gillingham Medway ME8 9JQ

  G1. Conifer - Hedge trim removing annual growth only. G2. Conifer - Hedge trim removing annual growth only. T3. Cherry - Reduce in height and radial spread by upto 2m. Current estimated height 14m leaving at 12m. Current estimated radius 6m leaving at 4m. Cut to offer upto a 2m clearance from the property. The Conifer trees (G1 & G2) have grown to form a hedge and have been managed throughout. An annual trim will continue their management removing regrowth only. The Cherry tree grows very closely to the property and although the client is aware that the roots may pose an issue in the future, they are keen to keep the tree but in turn manage its size by reducing its canopy. This will allow for the tree to be enjoyed but also offer some protection toward the property.
