  11 Woodlands North Shields Tyne And Wear NE29 9JS

  T12 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - carry out a 30% crown thin through the selective removal of smaller branches, distributed evenly throughout the canopy, retaining the trees natural shape, overall height and spread. As part of the thinning, selectively remove crossing and rubbing branches. Carry out a crown clean to remove dead, broken and damaged branches. Additionally, selectively remove the branches growing towards and contacting the gable end of the property. Estimated diameters of the final pruning cuts: 100mm. Raise the canopy slightly on the roadside, just to ensure we keep the foot path clear. Woodlands, North Shields, Tyne and Wear TPO 2017
