I was contacted by Nora Christine Ord-Smith at her request to crown raise and laterally reduce the common Beech (C) at the bottom of her driveway, remove a thin over extended lower limb on a Sycamore (B) and remove an Ash with significant die back, 50-75% (A) completely. Norah Christine Ord - Smith maintains and has full responsibility over the driveway and the trees. Therefore, she proposes remedial action to eliminate risks to her and her neighbours. The aim is to remove the Ash (A) as it is dropping limbs and will ultimately fail. Remove the over extended Sycamore (B) to discount structural defects and the increased risk of failure when in leaf and to reduce the deciduous area of the Beech (C), uncover her telephone wire and maintain the crown.
