Description

Front Garden T1 - Olive Reduce by up to 1 metre, shaping and balancing accordingly, ensure 3 metre ground clearance over the path. T2 - Quince Reduce by up to 0.5 metres, shaping and balancing accordingly. T3 - Large Palm Fell as close to ground level as possible. Rear Garden T4 - Palm Fell main leader to establish a new more central leader. Most of the works are for general upkeep and maintenance of the garden areas. Very large Palm at the front of property has become too large for its location and is over dominating the front garden area. By removing would allow already present plants and small ornamental trees to flourish. Small Quince would be more of a formative prune to help with future growth with the Olive being reduced to maintain size for the area its in and to remove intruding branches to path on opposite side of wall. Palm in rear garden has its main leader leaning at a 40 degree angle and leaning onto the patio area and stands around 5ft. Idea is to remove this stem back to source and establish a new central leader within the boundary's of the planting bays. Data via plota.co.uk
