Proposal

Everything at the front of my clients property has died including the privet hedge. They are replacing the privet with laurels and have decided the only trees on front boundary they will keep are both the chestnuts. The large chestnut that we had to pollard a few years ago due to it being on a decline is staying un touched. T1 The smaller chestnut next to it will be having a 3M lateral reduction as it has become very side weighted. T2 The prunus will be felled to ground level this tree is completely knackered and has a high chance of falling the fence is helping it stay up right currently. T3 Then the last two hawthorns are being felled to ground level to re plant laurels in their place. Data via plota.co.uk
