Proposal
T1 Copper Beech - Crown thin by 25% The upper canopy has become very dense, affecting light to surrounding gardens Also the tree is a 'stand alone' specimen in one of the highest parts of London and is subject to eddying winds The clients (through our services)have kept the tree sensitively managed for many years The prospect of stronger storms with the Super El Nino effect has caused concern with many tree owners.
