  English Oak: Predominant lean overhanging rear boundary fence line, overhanging neighboring property. Visible fruiting bodies at base evident. Due to the predominant lean and size and location of the tree, I would recommend it would be prudent to reduce the crown laterals directly overhanging the neighboring property by approx.. 2m. To give greater clearance over neighbors garden and also to help rebalance the entire crown

  Very large English Oak tree situated approx. 10m from the rear of the property. Crown height 16-18m, Crown spread 14-16m. This tree has a very large expensive canopy covering the majority of the rear garden. I would suggest due to the size and location an overall crown reduction of approx. 2m to form a more compact crown to allow more light to penetrate. At the same time crown thin to remove rubbing and crossing branches no larger than 50mm diameter to allow more light to penetrate the crown and garden. To remove all dead and dying wood and stumps. Finally to crown lift all round to 5m.
