  Conifer Hedge reduction - Current height of hedge approx 9m My customer would like to reduce the high of the conifer hedge to make it a managable height for maintenance and let more light in to their neighbours garden. The hedge has been previously topped before to create a 4m hedge, they would like to reduce the height to retain a 3m hedge. Chestnut - Lift/reduce lower overhanging limbs (2-3m) going over to the neighbouring property. Laurel- We would like to cut back any limbs rubbing on neighbours fence or wall, and reduce the top to condense it into the hedge.
