You can go to that subdirectory and give that trustee no rights to that particular subdirectory.
The trustee will then have the new rights for that subdirectory and all subdirectories below that.

In SYSCON assign NEW trustee rights to the directory you need to
restrict access to. ex. h:\dir1\dir2 user has all rights h:\dir1\dir2\dir3
user has only read and search rights. this can be done on a user basis
or on a group basis.
