All works shall retain the tree?s main framework and natural form, maintaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 80 mm in diameter. Crown lift by removing secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only, to provide a vertical clearance of approximately 2.50 metres between ground level and the lowest foliage tips, thereby achieving the desired clearance above the driveway & garage roof. All works shall retain the natural form of the crown and avoid the creation of large pruning wounds. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter.
