    8 Chestnut Way Epsom Downs Surrey KT17 3DQ

    T1. Ailanthus - remove two lowest skinny branches above the lawn. T2. Ailanthus - Remove two lowest long limbs due to proximity to the house, shading and they are above a children's play area. T3. Holly - Reduce the height to 2.5m above ground level to form a hedge. The reason is that the tree Holly is corrupting the form of the adjacent trees. Also excessive shading. T4. Ash - The tree is exhibiting Chalara infection so a crown reduction will provoke a stress reaction to hopefully extend the trees life. Reduce height by 3.5m and reshape the remaining crown appropriately, shortening lateral branches by approximately 1.75m. T5. Sycamore - Crown lift by 2m, secondary branches only. T6. Beech - Crown lift by 3m, secondary branches only. T7. Oak - Crown lift by 3m, secondary branches only.
