Proposal

There are 3 trees total. 2 birch trees and 1 big beach tree (they are all in a line next to each other). ///boost.money.steps W3W- The first birch tree completely snapped out last spring during a storm and landed on the drive way. The snap out wound and stem still remains and he would like to get it removed and he potentially would like to plant something there. The stem that remain is about 8ft tall and has polypore fungus present. ///fade.pack.eagle W3w- The second birch is completely dead, it?s been declining over the past few years with leaves prematurely turning yellow. This year is the first year where no leaves have grown. About 15ft were the first union lied is a dangerous cavity with water pooling inside. Neither of the stems look safe and have the potential to fall on the drive or his garage during another wind storm. He would like to get this removed also. ///could.trial.bucks w3w- The third tree is a big beach and he would like to get this reduced by as much as possible. He would like the height to come down again and the sides to be brought it to keep it maintained. The tree seemed to be very healthy and has lots of growth present. Side branches hang on his garden as well as branches that hang into the main shared driveway way So the removal of the 2 birch tree and reduction of beach tree as much as is allowed.
