  Removal of a road side dead tree which is unidentifable due to condition. a dead ornamental cherry tree on the side of the drive. Also to reduce a co-dominate stem holm oak tree that has split down the middle. The holm oak is at risk of failure due to the fracture. The tree is in a private owned car park putting people and vehicles at risk. If the stems are to fail completely this could cause harm or fatality. We would like to reduce the tree by 1/3 the size. Leave no cuts greater than 4.5 inches to reduce the weight and sale area.

  T1- Holm Oak- removal to near ground level. extensive base decay, close proximity to boundary wall therefore removal will prevent future problems occurring. replant with another Holm Oak further away from the wall T2 & T3- Oak- Crown lift by 2 meters and selectively reduce overextended branches by unto 1.5m pruning must not to exceed 50mm. To allow more space in the garden as the branches hang low and using a ride on mower is proving difficult since the garden was cleared of brambles and scrub.

  Oak (T1) - In accordance with BS3998:2010, it is proposed to remove internal branches that are exerting mechanical pressure on the BT telecommunications cables, ensuring pruning cuts are made at appropriate junctions to preserve structural integrity and maintain a maximum clearance of one metre from the cables, while also undertaking the removal of dead, dying, or fractured branches exceeding 25mm diameter throughout the crown to mitigate risk and improve tree health, with all works to be carried out by a qualified arborist using clean, sharp tools to promote optimal healing and ecological sensitivity. Seating area located within the crown's dripline. Ash (G1) - Removal due to its declining condition and poor contribution to the garden?s visual amenity, which has otherwise been developed to a high standard. The tree is exhibiting clear signs of Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), and extensive decay is present within the lower stem, compromising its structural integrity and long-term viability. It is recommended that the tree be felled and replaced with a smaller, more suitable ornamental species, such as Sorbus, to enhance the landscape character and ensure sustainable planting within the garden setting.

  We want to remove the tree down to approximately 3m from ground level. After ongoing review its deemed necessary to dismantle and remove the tree due to its disease and no long term viability. T001 - Monterey Cypress - as in Hi-Lines report. 2021: The initial assessment noted a minor deterioration from the previous year, with the tree displaying sub-optimal vitality and crown density. This decline was accompanied by increasing levels of deadwood throughout the crown, with Old Mill Road identified as the primary high-occupancy target. 2023: Dysfunction within the crown had noticeably increased, with only approximately 50?60% of functional crown remaining. Infection by Seiridium cardinale was suspected. A large, upright, central primary limb, biased to the west, was confirmed dead and exhibited torsional splitting; this limb was somewhat sheltered by the remaining canopy. The increasing crown dysfunction was most visible over the driveway leading to Hyperion. 2025: The most recent inspection confirmed no significant change in the overall status or risk assessment of the tree. The dead primary limb was removed after the previous assessment as recommended. However, minor additional deterioration and the advancement of Seiridium cardinale symptoms were recorded, necessitating continued close monitoring. The long-term viability of this tree remains questionable and the requirement for its removal is highly likely.
