I have a conifer at the front of my house that I'd like to reduce in size (I'm worried it's going to get massive) and tidy up around the base somewhat (as it's uneven and looks a mess!).
I'd ideally like to cut the top off (approx the midpoint between the two windows), and then improve the shape around the bottom with hedge trimmers to give a smoother more uniform shape.
Can anyone offer any more advice on doing the above? Am I likely to end up with brown dead patches where I tidy up towards to the bottom? Can I just cut off at the desired height, then shape towards it in a point? Am I too late?
