Mature Lime tree (T1) - Dead wooding works throughout the whole tree for duty of care; alongside a crown congestion clean. Mature Yew tree (T2) - Dead wooding works and crown raising to 2.1-2.4m over footpath due to the tree blocking access to the footpath. Mature Cherry tree (T3) - Dead wooding works, removal of ivy from base and continual monitoring of the tree to see if the decline worsens. If this is the case, we would then recommend a full removal and if possible, plant a replacement of a similar tree. Mature Beech tree (T4) - A coronet cut to speed the process of healing along for the tree. Conifer (T5) - Crown raise, and removal of 1.8-2.2m to allow access to gutters for property maintenance.
