    Firs Lodge Troutstream Way Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4LE

    T1 - Beech Homeowner is concerned about the trees lean into the neighbouring property. The tree was previously reduced approximately a year ago to reduce the weight. The homeowner is still unhappy with the movement in the canopy. I have recommended a 10-15% thin of the canopy to reduce wind loading.

    Firs Lodge Troutstream Way Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4LE

    T1 - Beech - Approximately 10m tall - Tree has a considerable lean and the customer is concerned about potential failure from the base. The tree has a considerable lean towards the neighbours garden so the customer wants to be sure the tree is safe. I have recommended a reduction to reduce canopy weight. From the neighbours side I will reduce up to 2 metres from the height and up to 3m from lateral branches if suitable. T2 - Eucalyptus - Approx 8 metres tall - The tree has a codominant stem from the base with 2 main leaders. I have recommended removal of the leaning stem on the left aswell as a reduction of the remainder of the canopy (approx 1.5 - 2 m) to prevent failure from the included bark.
