    Oak tree - 1st crown lifted to remove small epicormic growth and the two lowest branches. One branch has interfered with the roof of a neighboring structure. The second is hanging low over the lawn. By removing these, the canopy will be raised without impacting on the aesthetics or overall shape. 2nd crown reduction via thinning by approx. 20%, this can be achieved by selecting appropriate pruning points that will allow the tree to branch naturally going forward and reducing the likelihood of excessive secondary growth. Also providing a smaller and less dense canopy.
