How big would you envisage letting a C of L getting that situation and how regularly do you think it should be pruned?

A newly planted C of L won't be an issue in our lifetime. Planted one at home in the paddock 10 yrs ago to mark out fiftieths. Never going to need pruning in my lifetime!

The bread n butter of every start up to lifelong tree firm, straight fell manky connie onto that grass,cut up and clear, grind stump or recommend putting a flower tub on it if you haven’t got the time or inclination to grind the sod out, and want to undercut someone that’s quoted to leave it as flat as a witches tit.

Last Sunday I subbed as climber to take 25% off the top of two pines and "bring the sides in a bit". Apparently while I was up the second one the customer had already asked for a price to fell the first, it looked so awful.

I wouldn't mind but it would have been so much easier to dismantle the whole thing in the first place than untangle the top and fight it down over the rest of the tree.

I don't think you can ever shape it in really as the corners go thin, so the only possibility is the flat top cut-in-half conifer look. Then snip in the longer laterals.

I would price the reduction the same as the fell and let them decide.
