Proposal

Ash Tree in back garden. Cant miss it - 60 plus feet tall with branches spanning 3 gardens. Urgently need to prune the crown and remove dead branches. Some large heavy branches have fallen which is a concern. Tree Identification - Ash tree - height c30 metres Span - c25 metres Location is in the back garden of 213 Hampermill Lane WD19 4PJ. It is on the edge of the boundary with 215 Hampermill Lane. Easy to identify - its the only tree over 2.5 metres tall in the garden.
