Council sourceAll tree works due to massively shaded garden and part of general maintenance of trees. Also, when carrying out dead wooding works to T9 earlier in the year, we inspected a very large limb with large cavities in (visible from the ground). We think there is too much decay for the weight of the limb and that to just remove this limb would unbalance the tree so have advised that the tree be felled. Pictures have been supplied. T5 Hawthorn Fell to ground level and remove all arisings due to large amounts of deadwood in crown and major decline in canopy. T8 (side of house) Oak Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 3/4 metres to re-balance crown from previous cut back works and to stop over hang onto roof by chimney flue. T8(a) Hawthorn Fell to ground level and remove all arisings due to garage extension plans and low amenity value. T9 Oak Fell to ground level and remove all arisings. This is due to 2 x large limbs with major cavities with over 2/3 limb heart wood integrity gone. Fell to allow other trees either side to fill space. T9(a) Oak Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 2 metres and back from car parking space outside garage door to reduce acorn fall on the driveway due to father in law slipping on nuts. T10 Oak Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1/2 metres in places. Back from car parking space. T11 Oak Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 3/4 metres T12 Sycamore Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1/1.5 metres back from neighbours property and to match Oak canopy reduction above this tree. T13 Lime Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1 metre to keep in-line with reduction of Oak canopy above and to cut back over hang from driveway
