Description

Rear Garden T1 - Elm Reduce limb on Western side by 4 metres. Reduce height by 1.5 - 2 metres. Remove 2 or 3 timber sections in upper Eastern corner to thin out. Reduce remaining sides by 1-1.5 metres, balancing and shaping accordingly. Works are for maintaining the tree at a suitable size for the location and to reduce overhang to surrounding gardens. Would also be reducing South side limb to rebalance crown. Works would not be detrimental nor affect amenity value of the tree. Data via plota.co.uk
