Description
2. Large Laurel on the church boundary, opposite the Sweet Chestnut. Trim hard all over to contain and shape. 3. Beech tree with failed limb overhanging the field. Clear the fallen limb and reduce the broken limb back to a live side growth. 4. Lime tree by the corner of the church. Remove all low branches back to the boundary or the trunk, up to the height of the church gutter line. Prune branches above to clear the roof by at least 2m. 6. Holly tree to the right of the house by the boundary wall. Fell to near ground level; treat the stump to discourage regrowth. Further treatment is occasionally necessary ? this would be chargeable. 7. Prunus stems by the front wall, near the garage.
