    2 no. Lime- reduce crown by approximately 2/3 meters, thin and remove dead wood. T2. Lime in rear garden - reduce crown by approximately 2/3 meters, thin and remove dead wood. Would like to carry out tree work for management as trees are very large and are close to the property. With recent high winds the customer has fear that the branches will fail as they were a large amount of dead wood which fell and they have two young children. The leaf litter has as been consistently blocking the gutters. Both trees are largely overhanging Dame Bradbury school. Which is also a large concern to the customer as fear the long lateral branches may also fail. T2. Has a medium to large cavity approximately 50% up the tree and by reducing the tree will help reduce the stress on this point. In the Avenue of lime trees along the road. All of which have been managed except these two. Which I hope would help are case.
