Brynwyn The Clump Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4BD
We would like to remove the Scot???s pine and the walnut tree as we have had ongoing issues with glis glis using the trees to access the property. We also have four children and 9 grandchildren who play outside. We have had multiple occasions where large and heavy branches have dropped out of the trees in one occasion almost injuring my 3 year old grandson.
