Needed a cedar hedge trimmed down to a manageable height (currently about 15 ft high).
I wanted it topped off to about 7-8 ft but was advised that although it could be done without killing the hedge, it was not recommended due to the fact that it is basically hollow after all these years (30+).
In my efforts, I found out that 4 of 5 companies agreed with this company that only about 1/3 max should be taken off the top at this time.
I agreed and a time was set up to do the work. The workers were on time and the job was completed in about 2 hr at a fair price.
Totally satisfied and would recommend them 100%
