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.
