Located at the water garden - Magnolia to be reduced to get back cathedral view reflected by pond.Large 2nd magnolia - reduce sixe to gain light.Fig tree - removereduce yew hedge to gain more sq footage.I would like to reduce yew hedge by one foot so it is not hindering the pavement. I want to totally remove fig tree please. Regarding the large Magnolias. One is intruding on a neighbours roof and also is now blocking the view of the Cathedral completely which is what the garden was intended to do, so also failing to reflect in the pond as originally designed. (Please see illustrations in Peter Smithers book on his garden). So the crown needs reducing if possible please by at least 3x metres. There are also two very low branches that are hindering free movement within the garden that I would like removed please. Regarding the second magnolia I would if possible like to reduce the crown by 2 metres to allow more daylight into the garden please.
