  T1 - Cherry T2 - Lawson Cypress H3 - Leyland Cypress T4 - Lawson Cypress T5 - Leyland Cypress x 2 T6 - Yew T1 - Cherry - crown reduce by 25%. Approx 2 metres from height and 1.5 metres from the radial spread to ensure good shape and balance without excessive shading to the property and garden. T2 - Lawson Cypress - remove 1 metre from top of tree to maintain it at a similar height to adjacent hedge trees. H3 - Leyland Cypress - remove 6 of the hedge trees and reduce remaining 4 to an even top around 1.5 metres below current height and face up as a small block of hedge. This hedge is just too overbearing on the small garden. T4 - Lawson Cypress - remove 2.5 metres from height to reduce shading to the garden. T5 - Leyland Cypress x 2 - remove both trees as they are too overbearing on a small garden. T6 - Yew - reduce height and spread by around .5 metre to retain as a smaller more compact tree. Remarks:
