G1 Purple plum hedge located along side the drive way - This is beginning to get out of control, I recommend that we reduce the height down by around 2 metres back to its original template to give a more uniformed appearance. T1 Ash tree in clients property in close proximity to the house - This Ash tree has out grown its surroundings and is located close to the house where vehicles are parked, we recommend that we fell this tree down to ground level and replant a new one in a better location. T2 Ash tree located in neighbours property on the boundary - this is a multi stemmed Ash tree covered in ivy, it is hard to inspect the integrity at this time due to ivy, we recommend to cut back some branches over the driveway approximately 2-3 metres to alleviate some weight as the tree is very unbalanced, remove major deadwood and to also sever Ivy so future inspections can be carried out. T3 Ash tree, Tree seems to be in good health, how ever one stem is over hanging driveway fairly heavily where the vehicles are parked and has a questionable union at the base (please see photos) recommend that we reduce this stem by 2 - 3 metres to reduce over hang, weight and wind sail. T4 Willow Tree, the crown of this tree is growing into some BT cables, recommend that we give this a light reduction on selective branches to bring back in shape and clear the wires. T5 Ash tree situated at the back of neighbours garden, to give this tree a light reduction by approximately 1 - 2 metres on selective lateral branches.
