14 Couper Meadows Exeter EX2 7TF
T1-Maple The client feels that the tree, although much beloved, overtime becomes a little overbearing and casts a little more shade in the garden than they are comfortable with. The tree was last pruned in 2022 and the client would like to achieve similar results as last time. Reduce via thinning height of Maple by approximately 1.75m (tree is currently approximately 16m above ground level so a finished height would aim to be approximately 14.25m above ground level) and lateral crown spread by approximately 1.25m (tree is currently approximately 14m wide so a finished width would aim to be approximately 11.5m) making cuts no greater than 50mm in diameter.

13 Apple Farm Grange Exeter EX2 7TH
T1 - Oak Crown reduce by up to 2m, with pruning cuts not exceeding 50mm in diameter. Provide a vertical clearance of 4.5m to 13 Apple Farm Grange, requiring two cuts of up to 75mm in diameter. Reason for Works: This large, mature tree exhibits a vigorous growth rate and is overhanging and shading multiple neighbouring gardens. A light reduction at this stage is considered appropriate arboricultural management and will help to manage the trees size while keeping the impact on its physiological processes minimal. If left unmanaged, more extensive pruning is likely to be required in the future.
