The main concern for work is to make areas safe for people/children and the property. Also to allow more light through for the client. The property is set back from the main road, surrounded by mature mixed species of trees and tall conifers keeping the property in shade throughout most of the year.T1: Beech. Tree to be crown raised by 5m, with deadwood removed over driveway gated areaG2: Group of 4 trees x1 sycamore, x3 cherry. Trees to be removed due to large bracket fungus, which have left them standing deadT3: Oak. Crown reduction, crown thinning & crown raise to make safer and allow a more direct light in to the property, along with full deadwood removal.T4: Eucalyptus: Tree has became really leggy with the limbs stretching out over the lawn encroaching towards the property and play area, making it a hazard with weight and length the limbs have gained over the years. The tree appears to have had work carried out on one limb in the past, from the signs a large limb reduced by almost halfway which has created a new canopy below the main crown. Tree would benefit from some reduction work down to a suitable pruning point along with dead wood removal to make safer.
