View council mapFront garden: Holm oak (Quercus ilex) (t1): thin inner canopy max 20% to clean main stem to ensure good health and improve light. Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) (t2): dismantle to ground level due to proximity to building, damage to garden wall, lifting of pathway slab and possible future damage to property and amenities caused by shallow root system e.g. man hole cover situated under slab at base of tree. Client is also concerned for future hard landscaping plans for the pathway being unable to go ahead due to shallow roots and is also struggling to deal with the amount of leaf litter and fruit clogging the gutters. Client is disappointed to have to remove the tree and is very keen to replant in a more suitable location. Rear garden: Silver birch (Betula pendula) (t3): light thin up to 20% to clean main stem to ensure good health and for aesthetic value.
