Mature Beech Tree by main entrance on the house and over the road, power and phone lines.

Chaddleworth House Tower Hill Chaddleworth Newbury RG20 7EB
There is a Large Ash Tree with a 6 Ft long crack going from the root plate up the stem. The tree leans towards a nice old Oak Tree, we would like to monolith the Ash tree to 8-10M high to save the Oak tree and retain habitat in the Ash stem. Next to the Ash there is a Beech Tree with historic storm damage and a large cavity half way up the stem caused by the storm damage. We'd like to remove the top of the Beech to just above the cavity to stop it from failing help retain the main part of the tree and keep habitat (10m Monolith in essence - with some lateral growth to help keep it going)
