    Works to tree with a TCA: T1 - Ash tree (the thin stemmed ash tree half way down the left hand side is to have a reduction of approximately two meters, reducing the canopy to just above the crown break. This tree has a heavy low limb that is reaching and hanging over the client's garden that suggests a risk of breaking off. Reducing this limb in and then pruning the remaining of the canopy will balance the crown). T2- Triple stemmed sycamore (to reduce the triple stemmed sycamore that lies on the border of my client's property and the neighbours. To reduce this tree again by approximately two meters to provide more light to all surrounding gardens and assist with autumn time maintenance. To also remove the smaller and least substantial of the stems as this one encroaches further towards my client's lawn). All pruning cuts will be made to BS3889 standards and will be taken back to natural target growth to beget the healthiest regrowth circumstances.
