T1 - Dead Ash tree next to the driveway of the property needs to be felled to ground level. It is completely dead and has started to drop branches/limbs. The clients are terrified of this tree as it has the potential to fail and hit there property (ie parked cars/children). T2 - Oak tree growing close to the property and we would like to carry out a 2metre crown reduction allowing us to reduce it back from the property and the tree remaining a natural shape. Also remove all deadwood from the canapy of the tree.
