  We had a Ash tree cut down in nov 2019, all the way down to the stump and had it ground down, we would like to grind this down further and try to kill the roof off, as this root is running under ours, and our neighbours garage, we would like to grind down a further 100-200mm off the stump as it also has become a trip hazard at night. We have consulted with a local arborist who can do this for us with the correct machinery, this will be done at the same time as the pruning of our apple tree we have just had approval.

  Existing apple tree in back garden of nursing home. We intend to just trim about 60cm from the overall tree on branches no bigger than 2.5cm in diameter that have grown over the last 2/3 years. We have engaged a profesional arbourist to carry out this work for us. We would like to do this work due to it overhanging into a car park, and the amount of fruit falling causing an increase in vermin within the gardens of the care home.
