Works to TPO Trees

Description

2 x lime trees - to reduce both lime trees in the rear garden back to previous pollard points. Regarding sizes, around 35-40ft high, approx 18ft crown spread singularly, probably the same spread combined as their height. Reduce height by 2 metres (as you can clearly see on the photos, there are areas which are significantly overgrown and snapping off, which is dangerous) and reduce lateral branches by up to 2 metres (again, you can clearly see on the photos where the branches hang over our garden and also on to the neighbour's property).
