Default Ethical issue, would you cut these?

A series of pics to show you the problem. Pic 2 shows the shrubs we're focusing on.

Her choices in order of preference are.

1/ Removal/stump grind

2/ Retop/pollard

3/ Hedge trim level with top of fence



Lady wants tree work done including hedging, "pollarding" all around the house.

On the footpath there's a row of shrubs, in the past they get whacked which you can see. Now the shrubs served a purpose till she got a colour bond fence.

So, technically these are council trees.

What would you do? You have 4 choices to I suppose.

1/ Removal/stump grind

2/ Retop/pollard

3/ Hedge trim level with top of fence

4/ Do nothing coz it's council shrubs
