25 Queen Eleanors Drive Knowle Solihull B93 9LY
T1 - Common oak tree (Quercus Robur) positioned at the front of the property beside the driveway. The tree is in a healthy state, there is no fungi or disease visible to eye. The tree is very lobsided, heavy over the driveway and towards the property. This is because a very large oak tree is growing right beside it. There are large dead branches in the canopy that need removing. Some of the branches have been dropping onto the driveway. They are a high risk to any people walking underneath them. Remove all deadwood from within the canopy. Reduce the overall canopy by 3 metres. This will reduce the amount of stress on the heavier side of the tree. This also reduces the risk of limb failure. Completing this work will keep the tree maintained and reduces risk to the residents and anyone walking underneath. On picture 2 there is a limb marked blue that needs pruning back to the fork. This will allow more light to the front of the property.
