2 Tall Trees Close Northwich Cheshire CW8 4YA
1. Lime Tree - Request to Pollard this back to where previous pollarding has been done. Reasons for request are to reduce amount of shade, in the summer months the tree removes a considerable amount of light for the garden. In Autumn it will also reduce the impact of leaves blocking the house guttering which has led to damp/mould in the upstairs ensuite bathroom. 2. Oak Tree - Request to undertake a Crown Lift and removal of Dead Wood. Reason for request is to reduce excessive shading in the garden during summer months.
