  T1: The large 13-metre (approx.) tall and and 9-metre wide multi-stemmed Sour Cherry (Prunus Cerasus) to undergo a crown reduction and thinning by 30% (up-to 4-metres) to reduce its dominance. Through pruning, dead wooding, thinning and overall reduction the crown will be opened up to leave the tree healthy and balanced with a long-lasting shape fit for the habitat. The work will also create more light into the garden to allow other planting to thrive T2: The 5.5-metre-tall "lollipop" shaped Lawson Cypress (Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana) tree to the rear left of the garden to be systematically dismantled down to a low stump. Note: This cypress tree would only take minimal trimming before showing unsightly holes, therefore recommendation to remove. T3: The two 5.5-metre-tall Apple (Malus Domestica) trees in the rear garden to undergo a light crown reduction and thinning of the long 1.5-metre -long upright 'water' shoots to bring the tree back into a nice shape. The trees will be left... read more

  5 St Catharines Road, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, EN10 7LG

  T1 Weeping silver birch in the front garden -The trunk is approximately 2.5 metres from the front of the house and 2.5 metres from the front boundary. Proposed works: Selectively shorten branches on the house-facing side of the crown by up to 1 metre, pruning back to suitable lateral growth points, to increase clearance from the dwelling. Selectively shorten upper shoots growing towards the overhead telephone wires by up to 1 metre. No general crown-height reduction is proposed beyond this selective pruning.

No topping, pollarding or removal of major structural limbs is proposed. All pruning to follow BS 3998:2010 recommendations. Reasons: To reduce encroachment towards the house and overhead tele... read more
