52 Church Avenue Meanwood Leeds LS6 4JS
There is only one large tree in my garden. I will get a tree surgeon to do the works rather than doing it myself. It is not a main branch, just a thin one that has sagged/growing downwards and will soon be at head height. I can provide photos of the tree and the branch in question.

Banksfield House Haw Lane Yeadon Leeds LS19 7XQ
Tree type, Wild Cherry (Prunus avium) there are two mature trees that have grown next to each in a raised bed. These are situated next to a drystone boundary wall and within 18 feet of a neighbours property. They have destabilised the drystone wall which is in danger of falling down and further more their roots are causing damage to the neighbours property by lifting the tarmac drive. The proposal is to fell both trees and kill their stumps to prevent any further damage.
