  7 Bingfield Close Torquay TQ1 1QU

  Leylandii We have just purchased the property and this tree is at the front within our boundary. As can be seen from the photos, it is approximately 30 ft tall. It appears to have been left over the years with no or very little maintenance. Some of the lower branches are pushing the wall bordering the neighbouring property ( no. 6 ). We wish to lop the height of the tree by approximately one third and trim all branches to shape the tree. Also take off all dead branches and lower branches that are pushing against boundary wall to no. 6. This trimming will save the wall from collapse and improve the look of the tree and should prolong its lifespan. It would also be less likely to fall into either property in high winds.
