G1: 3xHolm Oak (right boundary) - Reduce height by approximately 1m from the middle tree, shaping the top to continue the conical look. Match the other two trees to the same height. The aim is to reduce the height and set a new conical top so this can be managed by the gardening team. T1: Sycamore (right boundary) - Reduce overall canopy by approximately 1.5-2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Lift canopy by removing the lowest three branches. The aim of the reduction to create a more visually appealing shape, whilst maintaining a the trees shape before a more drastic and potentially damaging reduction could be required. T2: Pear (right boundary) - Reduce overall canopy by approximately 1-1.5m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Remove all deadwood of 25mm in diameter or larger. The aim is to remove the risk of falling branches causing harm and to create a more visually appealing shape. G2: Row of Leylandii (rear boundary) - Trim laterals on customers side back to appropriate points to create a dense hedge for aesthetics and screening. Trim any obviously out of shape tops of the hedge to provide a cleaner finish, with a flat edge. Remove any major visible deadwood. T4: 2x Prunus species (Cherry & Plum, left boundary) - Reduce overall canopy by approximately to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Thin Canopy by 30% to allow more light through.
