About this job

Less height. Privacy retained.

The owner wanted the conifer lower, but still high enough to retain privacy in the garden.

We reduced the established conifer from around 25 feet to roughly 14 feet and trimmed it to the height agreed with the owner.

The tree still provides a substantial evergreen screen above the raised beds. The fence, greenhouse and neighbouring roofline make the change easy to compare in both photographs.
