The Following are located in the grounds of Graylands A- Silver Birch at front of property, has lots of deadwood reducing the height by 25% should give the Silver Birch a new lease of life. Rear Garden B- Large Eucalyptus, dose have a severe lean but is foreseeable safe, I would recommend a slight reduction to balance the tree but mainly to thin the density of the crown. C- Large Silver Birch, Healthy tree with no foreseeable major defects, We would recommend a 20% reduction keeping a well maintained tree benefiting both yourselves and neighbours. D- Cherry tree behind pool house this is completely unbalanced with a slight reduction wouldn't balance the tree but will certainly help it and pro long is life. E- Extra Large Ash right at the back of garden, on boundary line, this could do with being maintained with a nice 30% Reduction. F- Eucalyptus no major works required a slight lift. G- Cherry tree in front of the Silver Birches, all need a slight tidy up with a 20% Reduction. H- Silver Birch 20% Reduction to Create a well maintained healthy tree. I - Silver Birch slightly unbalanced towards property and also requires a 20% reduction and balance of crown.
