Works to TPO Trees

Description

Carry out an overall crown reduction, reducing the branch framework by up to 3 metres, thereby decreasing the trees height and radial spread. In addition, a crown thinning of approximately 30% is proposed to selectively remove secondary and tertiary growth, allowing increased light penetration through the canopy whilst maintaining the trees natural form and structural integrity.
