There is only one tree in our back garden. It is very close to a neighbouring house with branches over-handing their roof, garden boundary and guttering. The tree's height reaches about five-six metres above the neighbouring roof line. A tree surgeon has been booked to remove the upper coverage to a level two to three meters below the neighbouring roof line. They have also been instructed to remove ivy.
