G1 - 2x Poplar, 1x Sycamore (located on river bank) - fell to as near ground level as possible. This is due to all 3 trees to be located on a river bank with a slight lean towards neighbouring properties. G2 - 15-20x Willows (located on river bank) - Pollard all trees to approximately 2-2.5m from ground level. This is due to them no encroaching on neighbouring properties.
