The conifer in the front garden had completely outgrown the space. We are now able to get the lawnmower through the gate now and it is amazing how much more light it has allowed into the lounge. A good decision.
The Drock area has not had the trees cut back in the last 4 years and now that I have planted up the area I decided to cut back all the overhanging trees to give a bit more light to the undergrowth. I have lots of hostas to plant out down there and hopefully we will see the primroses better in the spring.
