- Mar 2018Tree WorksTreesIn report
Large Maple tree at the entrance to Michelend.The tree has a signficant division in its trunk and if the tree split it would fall in part on the garage of the house, and or cars parked on our land and that of our neighbours. In the past few years two trees with this weakness in our garden have split and fallen, but in those cases they were not near buildings. Our tree surgeon recommends that the height of the tree is reduced to lessen the weight either side of the split by 30% - 40%The tree also takes the afternoon sun from the next door houses.
