  Tree Identification: 6x Leyland Cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii) located along the rear boundary - remove six Leylandii at the end of our garden - extensive loss of foliage and die back. I consulted with a qualified arborist, Jim Quaife, in August 2023, who confirmed that the trees were in a state of terminal decline. - have continued to deteriorate and now present both a visual eyesore and a potential safety hazard due to the brittle, dead wood. - To maintain privacy as requested by the neighbour, we will immediately erect a 1.8m (6ft) close-board fence on the border following the removal of the trees.

  The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.

  Fell Olive tree in raised front garden very close to the side wall of the garage. A structural surveyor noted that the root system of the tree is pushing against this wall, and has caused cracks to appear, and indicated that the removal of this tree is necessary to preserve the wall from further damage.
