T1; Scots Pine - Fell. Reason: Deadwood contained within the crown, thinning of needles within the crown. The tree has significant lean that the client is confident has worsened in the last year. There is evidence of this at the base of the tree where a patio installed prior to my client's purchase of the property a year ago is now showing signs of lift.

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.
