  T1 and T2 Cypressus sp. - Reduce two cypresses at the driveway entrance by 2.5-3m. The trees have become too large for the space and the client would like to bring them to a more manageable size and formal shape. H1 - Chamaecyparis lawsonia - Lawson Cypress boundary hedge. Reduce by 2.5-3m. The hedge hasn't been maintained for a number of years and is blocking light to the rear of the property, reducing these will allow more light into the garden and achieve a more manageable height for the client moving forwards.
