Oak T1 - Whole crown reduction / hard cut back, to provide sufficient clearance to the property As you can see from the uploaded images, the tree is currently touching the house, shading light from our upstairs room and scraping on our roof during high winds. The tree is currently dropping lots of deadwood, posing a safety hazard to my family.

We are requesting a reduction of 3m from the tips
