Tree branches need trimming downEmail 16 May 2015 :Crown Thinning - Tree to be thinned by 30% due to lack of sunlight through the kitchen and front bedroom window. Crown Lifting- Lower branches start at 4.5 metres, I would like this to be taken up to 6.5 metres due to them over hanging at about 2.5 metres from the ground. The branches are in the touching my house and guttering also over hanging neighbours houses and cars. The branches are falling from the tree on my front garden, some of them are quite big, enough to hurt one of my children if it were to fall on them. Crown Reduction- lowest branches are around 7 metres long, I would like this to be taken back at least 3 metres as stated before the branches are touching the house are also in the guttering. The branches are also over hanging the foot path and road, which is blocking the street light as the lamp post is in the tree. - LEAVING 4 METRES ON TREE
