Hornbeams - R1 - turn the row of trees into a tall hedge - Approx. 6 metres to be removed from tops and 4 metres from sides. I would expect the finished height to be around 6-7 metres, and width once pruned to be approx. 1.5 metres. All top growth is cut down to approx 5 feet above old pollard points (This will provide required screening across the valley for the client from the house windows) the garden side face is cut back hard to the main stems. This will look bare when first pruned but the hornbeams will sprout out given light, and produce new growth lower down which will improve screening and providing this is managed by clipping will ultimately turn into a hornbeam hedge. This will take a minimum of three years, more likely 5.
