Application overview
THE OAK TREE IS IN OUR BACK GARDEN. IT IS NOW ENTWINING WITH THE TREE IN 46 GARDEN TOO WITH QUITE A LOT OF OVERHANG. IT IS ALSO ENCROACHING ONTO OUR GARDEN AND ALOT OF OLD BROKEN BRANCHES ARE FALLING INTO OUR GARDEN AND WE FEEL IT IS UNSAFE FOR US AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN WHO WE LOOK AFTER AT TIMES. IT IS ALSO NEARING HANGING ONTO OUR PATIO IN AREAS. WE WOULD LIKE IT TRIMMED AND 'SWEPT' OF OLD DEAD BRANCHES. ITS POSITION IS HALFWAY DOWN OUR GARDEN BUT COVERS NEARLY ALL THE GARDEN NOW.
