Land Rear Of 5 To 7 Meadow End And To The South Of Love Lane Bembridge Isle Of Wight
T7; Beech - Remove. The tree has significant basal decay with openings on opposite sides of the stem. The decay extends upwards within the stem, distance unquantified and also downwards under the buttress roots. Reason; Tree removal is required to remove the risk of harm. Height reduction is not a viable remedy, due to the height and slenderness of the tree. Furthermore, beech trees are not tolerant of severe pruning to the extent that would be required.

Redhill Farm Redhill Lane Wroxall Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 3ER
T4; English Oak - Reduce lower lateral over-extending branches back to suitable growth points up to 2-3m from branch tips; remove downward growing branches to prevent further leveraging. Reason: Lower canopy has become unbalanced and leaning more towards the client's property. By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.
