Description

I moved into 51 Beech Road late last year. The tree in my front garden is growing in between the phone lines and the roots are lifting the flag stones on the driveway making it dangerous to walk on. They are causing a trip hazard if me or my partner take out the recycling or want to access the car. Also, the branches are touching the house. I can see where the tree has been previously cut back to and would like to do that again. I have spoken with the neighbours who have informed me it hasn't been touched for a few years so really needs cutting back. I don't know what sort of tree it is. It's the only one in the garden.
