T1 - Maritime Pine - Fell to ground level and replace - The tree has a very large twisted and fractured limb, the other limb around it are also dead or very close to being dead, a large amount of tree leaning out over the road. With the fracture and deadwood removed it will leave the tree as a risk to the road. T2 - Maritime pine - Fell to ground level as the tree has died. T3 - Acacia - remove the broken limb - The tree has a limb which has failed into the lower fork of the tree. removal of the break will maintain safety in the garden. T4 - English Oak - Reduce and reshape by 1-2 metres all over - The tree has very poor formation at the base and a possible internal fracture. The reduction of the tree will still retain the tree within the landscape but also improve the safety of the garden by reduceing the sail area of the tree and therefor the stresses on the issues at the base of the tree.
