    4 Beech Way Linton Cambridgeshire CB21 4LA

    Yew x 2 (Taxus species) - Crown reduction of both Yew trees by up to 2 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points in accordance with BS3998 Tree Work Recommendations - The works will maintain the natural form and balance of each tree. Reason for Works: The two Yew trees are located in close proximity to one another and are competing for light and space. As a result, one tree has developed excessive growth extending significantly over the neighbouring boundary. The trees require management to maintain their health, structure, and relationship with their surroundings. The proposed crown reduction will help rebalance the canopies, manage size, and prevent further encroachment over the neighbouring fence, while ensuring the long-term retention and wellbeing of both trees.

    T1 = 1 x Large Lime tree (Tillia) 15 to 20 metres tall - Reduce the height by 6 metres, reduce the remaining crown by 1 to 2 metres, crown lift to 5 metres, remove epicormic growth, remove major deadwood. The client would like it reduced a little to manage its size, due to the close proximity to their property and to manage the branches overhanging the street. The client has been previously advised to pollard the tree (by another tree surgeon) but does not want to take this option as she values the tree and its amenity value.
