Tree WorksJan 2022T2 - Oak - Crown reduction up to 1.5 metres. Reason: keep tree manageable and reduce impact on guttering. Tree is close to the rear of our house. The last team of tree surgeons made a slightly poor job of things so tree now requires some remediation. Excess crown also causes shade to neighbours. T2 is also quite close to the neighbours oak (T3) which has recently successfully applied for a crown reduction.Decision
