T1 - Lawson cypress - Reduce height by 10ft and lift by 6ft. Tree has decay pocket at base and being very tall is exposed to high winds. Reduction in height would reduce wind exposure with a weak basal area and the crown lift is to take more advantage of the aesthetics of the stem. T2 - Cut leaf beech - Prune back from the neighbour's property by 2-3m, crown lift the remainder to 2.5m to allow for the paddock to be maintained.
