Proposal

Tree species: Chamaecyparis lawsonia (Lawson Cypress) Number of trees: 20 ( forming a barrier of approx. 100 feet) Work description: To reduce the height of these conifers by approx. 10 to 15 feet Reasons: These trees were originally planted to act as a boundary hedge. In 2002 planning permission was given to reduce the height by up to 20 feet, and over the last 19 years they have grown back. They now produce excessive shading of the garden and are vulnerable to high winds.
