There are four Cyprus Trees. They are mature and in good health but have become very overgrown and are in need of significant pruning back. They base or apron of the trees has spread nearly 4m from a shared fence and because the trees are very close together they have become very dense preventing access to the fence and the area between the trees and the fence. This area has accumulated a great deal of garden debris which is pushing up against the fence and exercising pressure on the fence causing it to fail. The height of the trees is now over 20m and they are overshadowing the neighbour's garden significantly. Thus, we would like to prune the trees, lifting the apron of the trees by removing lower branches to the height of the fence, thinning out the branches to reduce the amount of entanglement of the branches and give trees more space in which they might continue their healthy development. The height of the trees might be reduced by 4-6 m over a number of growing seasons so as not to cause any damage to the trees.
