    Swamp Cypress Tree at the bottom of our garden. Last cut back with permission in 2020. The tree is very large and overhangs into neighbours gardens - they are complaining about the size and the light it blocks from their gardens. We would like to reduce the crown by 2-3 meters.

    Large Ash in back garden. Needs to be reduced down to how it was in the past (approx by 50-60%) 2-3m - how it was before the house was purchased in 2017. The tree is not covered by a TPO but it is in a conservation area. It is shading the whole garden for no 5, 7 & 9 so it needs to be be cut back to allow light to come through
