  Beech T1 - Crown reduce back to previous points (approx 1.5m from height, 2m from sides) to prevent excessive shading the the front of the house. Beech T2 - Crown reduce entire canopy by no more than 2m to prevent excessive shading to the front of house. G1 - 2x Hornbeam, 1 x sycamore - Crown reduce Hornbeam's by approx 2m all over to create definition between the 2 trees and to prevent excessive shading. Sycamore to have all major deadwood removed over a diameter of 50mm and length of 1m. Canopy of the sycamore to also be crown reduced by 2m all over (to suitable growth points). Oak T3 - Tree has had multiple limbs tear out due to storms. The larger south east facing limb is showing signs of splitting internally which is most likely from excessive end weight to the previously torn out limb. The remainder of the tree has multiple smaller tear out wounds which are not correctly sealing and are also developing considerable end weight. Due to this i have recommended removal of the larger south east facing limb which is approximately 4m in length and 6 inches in diameter. To then compensate for this i will reduce the remainder of the tree by around 2m to suitable growth points which will rebalance the canopy. I will also removing the sections of deadwood. I will tidy any other previous tear out wounds with correct pruning cuts to aid the limbs sealing processes. The tree is over their garage and car parking area which is the reason for their concern. G2 - 2x sycamore - Reduce lower lateral limbs to provide a 3m clearance from garage. The lower limbs provide problems regarding leaf drop into their gutters and driveway. T4 - Blue Atlas Cedar - End weight reduction of lateral limbs (approx 1-1.5m) within the canopy to prevent potential limb failure. In particular the lowest south east facing limb where their children frequently play.

  This is a Cherry tree in my back garden which, over the summer, has started leaning to the right and towards a Norwegian Maple tree. A large root now protrudes out of my lawn as a result of the trees leaning. I am concerned that the tree will fall and damage the maple and into my neighbour's garden. I have a tree surgeon who is prepared to take the tree down if I can get your permission.
