    Mew Stone East Allenhayes Road Salcombe TQ8 8HU

    G1: Black Pines - Fell, a very poor choice for planting in such a confined garden. The 10 Pines have not been maintained in the last 5 years and are now causing damage to the boundary wall they were planted too close to, and will soon start to damage the wall of the small raised beds they were planted in. They will be replaced with more a suitable species, that will be correctly maintained. G2: Black Pines - Fell the 2 most southerly trees in a group of 7, the 2 to be removed are planted too close to the edge of a very tall raised beds and will soon start to damage the wall of the bed & G3: Black Pines - Fell the 2 most southerly trees in a group of 8, a very poor choice for such a small space, and they have not been maintained
