    Prune T1 Ash located at the front of house car parking bay according to the following specifications: Clean to remove all dead, diseased and broken branches 2 centimetres in diameter and larger throughout crown to improve health and appearance and reduce risk of branch failure. Raise lower branches to a height of 2-3 metres to improve clearance over neighbours property. Thin crown to remove approximately 10% of live branches to reduce crown density. Most thinning cuts will be between 1 and 3 centimetres in diameter. Reduce crown height and spread by approximately 3-4 metres to enhance natural form.

    I was clearing up the rear of the garden and noticed a tree (i believe Cherry) is half uprooted (pictured attaced) - it starts on my property but the tree goes over the fence line into a neihbouring property (retirement homes) There looks like the tree has surived (and dont know how many years in that state) but leaves an open gap in the fence line leading to security concerns (as the fence line needs to be replaced) it doesnt look like the tree can be saved based on the angle it currently is (as would leave it extreemly ubstable if put back up) so reququest that the tree is felled. the tree is located behind the TPO lime tree (roughly 3meters behind)

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
