    To reduce the oak tree by 30% as tree is growing and overhanging property - to keep area safe - to be crowned by approx 30% and remove epicormic growth and deadwood. The crown will be reduced by shortening branches all round outer parts of tree to maintain a balanced shape, in particular removing overhanging branches above roof and gutters. Reduce overall height on top and sides by 20ft which estimate to be 30% of total height.
